Hangaroo is a fun and free online word puzzle game that has the good vibes of hangman with a lot more style and stakes. Players guess a single letter to complete the word or phrase—but watch out! You only have four incorrect guesses before our animated kangaroo meets his untimely end.
Each puzzle is based on a specific category (e.g., geography, pop culture, animals, history), and the category should help you (or hurt you) based on how familiar you are with your facts. It’s about logic, knowledge, wit, and of course, our silly marsupial's commentary.
When you play hangaroo, why not start with the letters you know will be used the most in the English language:
These letters will appear in many everyday words, so it is a good starting point to make the right guesses.
As a reminder, each puzzle is in a specific category. Use the clues based on geography, pop culture, animals, and history (for example) to make better guesses and eliminate other options.
You only have four opportunities to make a wrong guess. Don't waste them on obscure letters (like Z, Q, or X), unless you are sure they are contained within the word.
Hangaroo is a game that involves thinking ahead. Don't rush your guesses; take a moment to think about the category and which common word or phrase fits that pattern.
Each time you guess a letter correctly, you will uncover more of the puzzle, helping you save the kangaroo ultimately. If you are wrong, you get to keep guessing until you run out of guesses--are you up for the challenge? Will your vocabulary get you to victory? From seasoned word game players to fans of absurd challenges, Hangaroo is a great combination of fun, strategy, and brain manipulation.
Play Hangaroo to make sure the kangaroo keeps hopping!
