Two More Kindle Games: Hangman and Hangman 4 Kids

Two more new games for Kindle today, this time in an adult and children's version, resulting in a dual debut Sonic Boom.

Hangman (A Word Game for Kindle) ($2.99)

Book Description
Play the classic game of Hangman on Kindle.

Hangman is a word puzzle game everyone played as a child, but with 600 puzzles of varying difficulty this game is no child's play. The objective is to complete the word or phrase in the least number of guesses. You are presented with a category that the word belongs to, as well as with a row of dashes representing the number of letters the word contains. As you suggest letters they are added in their correct positions, or if you guessed wrong, another body part is added to the figure hanging from a gallows. Guess the word or phrase before the figure is completed or you lose the game.

Along with the standard stick-figure hanging from a gallows Hangman also features a Shakespeare figure and a gingerbread cookie-man who will get a bite taken out of him for each wrong guess. You can get up to 2 hints per round and follow your progress with a running tally of your results.

Enjoy this classic word game, as you sharpen your mind and vocabulary skills!
