Hangman

A cool version of the traditional hangman. Dictionary composed of 14000 English words. Powered by the jQuery library, AJAX and PHP.

Demo

You can play a demo of the Hangman game here

How to use

1. Install the plugin.
2. Add the shortcode [hangman] in the page you want to display the Hangman.
3. (Optional) To change the default words you need to modify the file “dictionary.txt”. Take note that, if there is a plugin upgrade, the changes will be overwritten.

Troubleshooting

I’ve found that, for some reason, jQuery library may not be added on the WordPress website. To include it, add the following code to functions.php:

function theme_scripts() {
  wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_scripts');
