That's fun! But I think there's a bug. On length 6, guess eariotnslcm. It says there are two words left, presumably "humbly" and "dumbly". Guess bly, still two words left. Why if I guess 'h' does it not say "humbly" is wrong and leave 1 word left? On Mon, May 4, 2020 at 10:35 PM Thane Plambeck <tplambeck@gmail.com> wrote:

we put up a version you can try here (as the guesser)

there's a recent paper about evil hangman in the arxiv, too (not our work), but we simply wanted to play it, so we created this thing.
