The Hangman (poem)

Hangman is a game about guessing a hidden word. In the poem version of the game, you have to guess a hidden word by guessing one letter at a time. Every wrong guess is like the person playing hangman being hanged one piece at a time. The poem layout of the game gives a graphically visual representation of the process of being hanged. Each time you guess a wrong letter a piece of the "hangman" is added. Once all the pieces have been added, it means you have not guessed the word correctly and you lose the game!
