The essentials of playing Hangman
Start Hangman by looking at the playing area and its controls. Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Look at what changes after your first action.
Bring this focus to a round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Your inputs

An example to follow
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
An important reminder
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Compare the situation with the worked example. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
