Spell out the country before the drawing is done
Every hidden word in Countries Hangman is the name of a nation. A row of blanks shows how long the name is, and you pick letters from an on-screen keyboard to fill them in, while each wrong letter adds a line to the hangman drawing. It is the old pencil-and-paper game with a geography quiz built in, so you need to name the country before the sketch is complete.
How to play Countries Hangman
- Look at the blanks; each one stands for a letter in the country's name.
- Click a letter on the on-screen keyboard to guess it.
- A correct letter fills every blank where it appears, while a wrong one adds a piece to the drawing.
- Spell out the whole name while the sketch is still unfinished to take the round.

Tips to play better
- Open with vowels; A, E and I turn up in a large share of country names.
- Use the number of blanks: a four-letter name narrows things to countries such as Peru, Chad or Iran.
- Think about common endings like -IA and -LAND once the last letters start to show.
- Hold back rare letters like Q, X and Z until the pattern clearly calls for them.

Countries Hangman FAQ
Does Countries Hangman ask about capital cities?
No. The hidden words are all countries, so knowing the names of nations is enough.
What happens when I guess a wrong letter?
One more piece of the drawing appears. Too many misses complete the picture and end the round, so make your first few guesses count.
