Title: Hangman Author: Marc Oliveras Published: August 9, 2018 Last modified: May 28, 2023 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/hangman/assets/banner-772x250.jpg?rev=1922064) This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/hangman/assets/icon-256x256.jpg?rev=1922014) # Hangman By [Marc Oliveras](https://profiles.wordpress.org/oligalma/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/hangman.zip) * [Details](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/hangman/#description) * [Reviews](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/hangman/#reviews) * [Installation](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/hangman/#installation) * [Development](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/hangman/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hangman/) ## Description A cool version of the traditional hangman. Dictionary composed of 14000 English words. Powered by the jQuery library, AJAX and PHP. ### Demo You can play a demo of the Hangman game [here](https://www.oligalma.com/downloads/php/hangman/hangman) ### How to use 1. Install the plugin. 2. Add the shortcode [hangman] in the page you want to display the Hangman. 3. (Optional) To change the default words you need to modify the file “dictionary. txt”. Take note that, if there is a plugin upgrade, the changes will be overwritten. ### Troubleshooting I’ve found that, for some reason, jQuery library may not be added on the WordPress website. To include it, add the following code to functions.php: ``` function theme_scripts() { wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); } add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_scripts'); ``` For any issues about this plugin, you can contact me [here](http://www.oligalma.com/en/contact) or use the [forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hangman) ### Donations If you enjoy playing Hangman and find it useful, please consider [making a donation](https://www.paypal.com/donate?business=UPTNE486TU958&no_recurring=1&no_shipping=1&item_name=Support+the+website+and+pay+the+hosting¤cy_code=EUR) ## Screenshots * [[ * [[ ## Installation 1. Upload the entire `hangman` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. Add the shortcode [hangman] in the page you want to display the Hangman. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fb8d51073166f727c2c7dabcaa8c4b0fb107c32937d6629ed7b79c4ee769ad5f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Easy and fun](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-and-fun-15/)󠁿 [mahirbarut](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mahirbarut/) February 7, 2023 Thank you, I loved it. I started to use it on my website in the English lessons for my students. I hope you will update it soon. That’s my only concern. Students love playing. Currently, it works for this WordPress, but please update ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0d1a9f5f411816425030cfae979a3596f673cd20187c124ba15e6f5b21aadf36? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works well.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-well-2558/)󠁿 [iroller](https://profiles.wordpress.org/iroller/) June 17, 2022 This works well. It would be useful if there was a simple way of importing your own words. Also an option for changing the background image woudld be good or at least give a few different ones to choose from. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/67d8f56e85f13011aa575f9aa3d4947f8add4e875b419fb4407b3a63d9b8ada6? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[I needed more customization – Word Choices](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-needed-more-customization-word-choices/)󠁿 [karolsnewday](https://profiles.wordpress.org/karolsnewday/) April 29, 2020 This was easy for the user to play. However, I needed more customization. I needed the words to match the theme of my site. The first game I played was for the word:“ flatulent” which doesn’t work for my audience. But like I said, if you are looking just for ease of use for website visitors, it’s easy to install and easy to play. I wish it also had clues to the word.
