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 rtbanane, cabane, …; suggested next letter often n or l.
