Prof Ortak's Hangman
Classic Word Guessing Game
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The classic word guessing game, right on your phone. Guess letters one at a time to reveal the hidden word — but be careful. Six wrong guesses and it's game over.
Choose from easier or trickier words across lengths from 2 to 9 letters. Start with a quick round, then customize your next game with your preferred difficulty and word length. New words are added regularly to keep the challenge fresh.
Features include score tracking, win/loss stats, and a growing word list with hundreds of words across multiple difficulty levels.
Simple. Clean. Fun. How good is your vocabulary?
Thanks Professor Ortak for the assignment that inspired this.
As your son says: "Dad, you're a genius!"
Yes, he can play it too, if his dad says it is okay. ;)
Updated Monday March 30th, 2026:

Feedback and user experience welcome. Please let me know your experience with this app through email at Joyce@Success4ttitude.com
Removed dependency on WiFi. Now all words are built into the app. Once it is downloaded, the app has access to all words even in airplane mode, underground, or anywhere with no access to WiFi or cellular data.
No access to WiFi needed unless you want to look up the meaning of a word you hadn’t known about. Or go “old school” and bring a dictionary with you for those moments of learning. :)
Every word individually chosen with care.
Your experience matters.
You matter.

P.S.
Free because everyone should have access.
No ads ever.
No data transmitted except this app to your device.
Your data never transmitted anywhere. None of my business.
Full privacy as it should be.
