Five words.
One theme.
Guess five connected words, letter by letter — just like hangman. A new puzzle drops every day at midnight. Free to play, no account needed.
How it works
01
Five words, one theme
Each puzzle has five words all connected by a common theme. Figure out the theme and the words get easier.
02
Guess letter by letter
Just like hangman. Reveal consonants one at a time — or sacrifice a life to buy a vowel when you're stuck.
03
Five lives. Use them wisely.
Five incorrect guesses and it's over. Share your result and see how you stack up against everyone else.
04
Back tomorrow
New puzzle every day. Build your streak. Miss a day and start again — no judgement.

About us
We’re Arun and Amy — a husband and wife team who built Hang Five as a fun side project, and somehow ended up with a daily habit for players all over the world. We’re based in the UK, though Hang Five was born in Wellington, New Zealand, where most of our players still are.
Our furry workmates keep us company:
- Dougal the golden retriever — chief “helper”
- Dunkin the ragdoll cat — chief cuddle monster
- Beans the ragdoll cat — chief squeaker
- Dotty the rescue puppy — chief mischief maker
