About this tool
The Hangman Solver takes the word you are guessing as a pattern of known letters and blanks — write revealed letters in place and use an underscore (_) for each unknown position, for example _a__e. It then scans a large English word list for every word of that exact length whose revealed positions match, and eliminates any word that contains a letter you have already guessed wrong.
Crucially, it also respects hangman's reveal logic: a letter you have already uncovered would show in every position it occupies, so the solver rejects any candidate that hides that letter in a still-blank square. Over the surviving candidates it counts how many contain each letter you have not yet tried, then ranks those letters by coverage — the top suggestion is the letter that appears in the most possible words, giving you the highest chance of a hit on your next guess.
Results show the remaining candidate count, the recommended next letter, and a ranked list of letters with their hit frequencies, plus the candidate words themselves (capped for very open patterns). Everything runs locally in your browser against a bundled public-domain English word list, so nothing is uploaded — and because that list is public-domain, a handful of very modern or borrowed words may be missing from the candidates.
