Official rulings

5 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

If Hangman changes controllers, the person who originally chose the word continues to fulfill their duties as letters or words are guessed. Now that this player doesn’t control Hangman, they will have a much easier time figuring out the word.

Each letter can be guessed only once.

2018-01-19 · Wizards of the Coast

If a guessed letter appears multiple times in the word, you should fill in each instance of the letter in the word.

2018-01-19 · Wizards of the Coast

You must choose a word in a language each player understands. If there are multiple such languages, you should specify which one you’re using as you secretly note the word.

2018-01-19 · Wizards of the Coast

The abilities mimic the game of hangman. You tell each player how long the secret word is. You may even draw out blanks as one does in the game of hangman.
