Hang-it Oh! Man

Hangman is a popular word-guessing game typically played between two or more players. One player thinks of a word and then represents it using dashes or underscores to indicate the number of letters in the word. The other player(s) then attempt to guess the word by suggesting letters. For each incorrect guess, a part of a stick figure, usually representing a hanged person, is drawn. The drawing is completed incrementally with each incorrect guess. The goal for the player guessing the word is to correctly guess the word before the entire stick figure is drawn, usually consisting of a head, body, two arms, and two legs. The number of incorrect guesses allowed may vary, but it is commonly represented as a set number of body parts, such as a head, body, two arms, and two legs, or simply as a fixed number of attempts. If the player(s) guessing the word are able to guess the word correctly before the drawing is complete, they win. However, if the drawing is completed before the word is guessed, the player who thought of the word wins.
