A classic word game for your lunch break...

Instructions
Can you guess the word? Click the 'new game' button to start and then choose a letter at a time - either by clicking on it above, or by pressing its letter on the keyboard (IE only).
For each wrong guess, another line is drawn on the hangman illustration. You're dead if the drawing's finished before you've worked out the word.
Once you've started guessing, you can look up the answer in the Merriam-Webster dictionary by clicking on the button. You can use this to find the definitions for any words you don't know.
