The video

The video is narrated and captioned in Hebrew; the transcript below is in English.

Hangman

Hangman inside the room: whoever opens the game chooses a word of their own or a random word, and the whole room guesses letter by letter, up to 6 mistakes.

How to start

  1. In a game room: tap "New table" and choose Hangman. In a regular room, whoever manages the game starts it.
  2. Whoever opens the game picks "My own word" or "Random word" (details below).
  3. Anyone in the room joins by guessing a letter.

How to play

  1. Guess one letter at a time; you cannot guess the whole word.
  2. A correct letter is revealed in the word, and a letter that is not in the word counts as a mistake.
  3. In Hebrew, a final letter and its regular form are the same letter.

How the game ends

6 mistakes — with "My own word"Whoever chose the word wins
