FAQ
What are the best letters to guess first?
Vowels and common consonants: E, A, R, I, O, T, N, S. They confirm the word's skeleton fast โ then category context does the rest.
Is this the classic hangman?
Same rules, friendlier stakes: instead of a gallows, six balloons keep our marmot afloat and every wrong letter pops one. Lose them all and he floats gently back down with your streak.
Can I play with a keyboard?
