HOW TO PLAY
1

One player secretly thinks of a word or phrase and draws a blank line for each letter.

2

Other players take turns guessing one letter at a time.

3

A correct guess fills in every matching blank; an incorrect guess adds one part to a simple gallows sketch.

4

The guessers lose if the sketch is completed before they solve the word, and win if they fill in every blank first.

5

Reveal the word at the end of the round and pick a new player to choose the next word.
