Review
A1 Hangword is a simple hangman game in its traditional style, specially designed for children, to help them learn new words, improve spelling and have a great time doing so. As in the classic hangman, the game consists of completing the mysterious word, before we run out of guesses, otherwise the man will be hung.
Due to its simplicity, even young children who are learning to write can play it. The game's interface is very simple and so easy to use that children won’t find any problems to handle it. Its graphics are modest with soft colors, and scarce sound effects (only when guessing a letter), but still attractive enough to keep kids occupied for some time. Besides, the game has over 9,000 English dictionary words, in a variety of lengths, which guarantees hours of entertainment. It would have been great, though, that the game had included such features as levels of difficulty, or the chance of selecting words according to a topic.
A1 HangWord is a light-weight application, with minimal system requirements, works in all Windows platforms, except for Vista. Most importantly, it’s absolutely free. |
