HANGMAN(6)                 OpenBSD Reference Manual                 HANGMAN(6)

NAME
     hangman - computer version of the game hangman

SYNOPSIS
     hangman [-k] [-d wordlist]

DESCRIPTION
     In hangman, the computer picks a word from the on-line word list and you
     must try to guess it.  The computer keeps track of which letters have
     been guessed and how many wrong guesses you have made on the screen in a
     graphic fashion.

     The options are as follows:

     -d wordlist
             Use the specified wordlist instead of the default.  A wordlist
             file must have one word per line.  Only lowercase words of at
             least a certain length (typically 6 characters) are chosen.

     -k      Use the kernel symbols, as read from /dev/ksyms, instead of the
             default wordlist.

FILES
     /dev/ksyms                Kernel symbols file.
     /usr/share/dict/words     Default word list.
