1. Create words using the least often used letters in the alphabet. Z, Q, X, J, and V are the top 5 least used letters.
2. Avoid using the same letter more than once in any word, it makes the puzzle much easier to solve than any other mistake.

Want to know how to win at Hangman as the word guesser? Here are some tips.

1. If you watch Wheel of Fortune, you know that the most often used consonants in the English language are R S T L & N. While you don’t have to lead off with these guesses, the odds are in your favor. 
2. Work the puzzle by guessing the end of the word first. It's easier this way.
3. ALWAYS GUESS THE VOWELS IN THE GAME. It doesn't have to be the first 4 letters you guess, but guess them eventually.
4. The English language hardly has any words with 3 or more consonants in a row. If you see 4 blank spaces in a row, there's a great chance that one of the blank spaces will be a vowel.
5. Think off the common 2-consonants places together, especially in the beginning and the end of the word. CH, TH, ST, GL, TR, and BR, are some examples.
