Hangman Helper
Suggest hangman guesses from pattern, already-tried letters and English letter frequency.
About this tool
Pattern matcher for hangman / partial-word puzzles. Underscore _ is unknown; any letter is fixed.
How it works
- Filters dictionary words of the right length whose letters match the pattern and which avoid every absent letter.
- Suggested next letter = letter occurring in the most candidates (information-gain heuristic).
Example
_a_a_e with absent rt → banane, cabane, …; suggested next letter often n or l.
