Learn with Hangman!

Hangman is a classic word game. In this version, the hidden word is always an adjective from this list. Choose your first letter to start. (I'd go for "U" if I were you.)

Guess the hidden adjective by choosing one letter at a time.
If you guess a letter in the hidden adjective, then all is good.
If you guess a letter that is not in the hidden adjective, then the hangman starts to build the gallows.
