About this game

Hangman is a word game about Insects and bugs. You see a picture and a row of blanks. Tap letters to fill in the animal's name. Every wrong letter costs a heart, and after six wrong letters that animal is over.

Each round has 10 animals. There are 30 in this quiz, including Asian giant hornet, Queen Alexandra's birdwing, European hornet, and Goliath beetle. On a computer you can also type the letters on your keyboard.

In languages with a very large set of characters, such as Chinese and Japanese, the keyboard shows the letters in the answer plus a few extras taken from other names.
