Hangman Game Update
Monday, January 14, 2008

Hangman is one of the very oldest games on The Problem Site; it has been on the site almost since the very beginning. It has also undergone changes a couple times.
One thing that hasn't changed is the dictionary on which the game is based. At the time the game was created, I found a 17 thousand word dictionary which was about the best I could find.
However, that the word list was not very accurate; it contained a variety of misspellings, which were (of course!) very frustrating for hangman players.
Since then, I have switched to using the Enable2K dictionary for new word games, but never took the time to update hangman.
That change, finally, has been done. Hangman now uses a word list containing not 17 thousand but 170 thousand words.
