Hangman JavaScript

Hangman JavaScript is a browser-based Hangman game built with plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

  • The game picks a random word and shows its hint. The player guesses one letter at a time; each wrong guess adds to the hangman drawing, and six mistakes end the round. A result overlay announces a win or loss and offers a replay.

  • Purpose

    • Build a complete interactive game without frameworks
    • Style the interface with Sass
