When you guess a letter that is not in the phrase, a body part will appear on the character in the gallows. Guess wrong six times, and the character is hung… and the game is over. Some phrases contain numbers. If a phrase contains a number, the 10 number buttons will be active; otherwise they will be grayed-out.

Phrases are divided into five categories: People, Places, Things, Titles, and Sayings. The category is displayed in the upper left corner. Each category has a different character who gets "hung".

1-> "People" includes both individuals and groups (such as rock bands). It includes celebrities, artists, politicians, scientists, even fictional characters.

2-> "Places" include cities, countries, geographical features like lakes and mountains, famous buildings, even heavenly bodies.

3-> "Things" include machines, food, animals, body parts, household items, vehicles, sporting equipment, and many more.

4-> "Titles" are titles of songs, books, movies, TV shows, plays, magazines, newspapers, comic strips, and even computer games.

5-> "Sayings" include all sorts of famous proverbs, adages, axioms and clichés.
