Hanging with Friends is the wonderful and fun iPhone and Android app game that is based on the classic Hangman game. Most people have played Hangman as some time in their life, but when it is on your phone and you can connect with your friends, it takes on a world of its own with more excitement, bragging rights, and thrills. While the topics for Hanging with Friends can vary, there is no reason why you can't become a winner almost all of the time.
Start with the Basics
When you want to know how to win at Hanging with Friends, then start with the basics. By this, it simply means to begin by trying to find all of the vowels in the word that you have to figure out. There are five vowels, but don't forget 'y' as well, as this is sometimes considered to be a sixth vowel.
When you are looking at the word you have to figure out, the number of letters, or the words that are in a phrase, can give you a great many clues before you even take you first guess. A phrase with four words, for example, with one of them being three letters, would constitute a guess of 'E.' The reason for this is that phrases generally include common connector words, such as 'A', 'The', and 'And'.
Longer words will tend to have at least one 'E' in them, but obviously this is not always true. 'E' and 'I' commonly go together, as do 'E' and 'A'. When you have a fair number of vowels uncovered, there is no need to keep guessing vowels. Now it's time to work on the next aspect of the 'basics' for winning at Hanging with Friends.
Common Letters
Common syllables would be the next step in your attempts to solve the puzzle. 'S' is the most common syllable, followed by 'T'. However, once you have some letters revealed, then it's time to play detective to a degree. Let's say that you have a seven letter word and 'E' is the second to last letter. Most words don't end in 'EM' or 'EL'. However, 'ER' and 'ED' are quite common. Therefore, based on the clues that you have in front of you, begin to try and fill in the blanks with letters that make the most sense.
It's important not to become fixated on this one letter, however. When you do, you begin to guess everything and miss out on other potential clues, ultimately losing the round. If you're really stuck and need a little help, you can use an online Hanging with friends solver to give you an advantage.
When you are positive that you know a letter (such as when faced with T_E), then be certain to choose that letter (H in this case). It may also be in another word in the phrase and give you another great clue.
When you play Hanging with Friends with your friends, with these basic tips, you'll begin to wow them with your amazing ability to guess almost any word or phrase correctly before your character drops into the lava!
