LET's PLAY HANGMAN!

Sign-ups will close on December 31st
The challenge is open-ended.
Only books completed from 20 July 2024 will be counted but we can start playing to get to our tasks before!



The Challenge

1. Comment here to sign up and I will create a challenge thread for you.

2. We will play a Bookish version of the Hangman No worries, if you have no idea what this is. I have posted our rules below. If that seems too much, just follow my lead and you will get a hang of it in no time!

3. If you feel stuck, you have options for skips or completing word hunts to skip challenges.

4. You can win a lot of points for this challenge and decide your level for each round! Every player will have different prompt so feel free to go at your pace.

5. If you don't have a personal point account thread yet, request one here.

Nistha | 2816 comments Rules

❏ We will play 10 rounds on different topics. I will disclose the topic and let you choose levels for each round: Easy (2 points), Medium (5 points), Hard (7 points)

❏ You need to guess letters for each game depending on the letters of your book title. You can guess as many letters as you want in a round as long as you have it in your book

❏ Each incorrect guess brings you closer to being "hanged." If you guess too many incorrect letters and get hanged you won't get any points for that round.

❏ For each round, you can ask for hints. Each hint will deduct 0.5 points from that round. So for an easy round, you can take a maximum of 4 hints. If you take a hint and fail the round, no points will be deducted from your overall pool, you just won't get any points for that round.

❏ You can guess the final answer when you have less than 5 dashes left! But if you get it wrong, you will get 3 hangman dashes

❏ You have 10 hangman tries for each round!
