About Geography Hangman
Geography Hangman is a free collection of word games that turn the classic letter-guessing game into a fun way to learn world geography. Every puzzle is a real place name — starting with countries, with capitals and more on the way. The names get harder the further you go, and a run keeps going until you collect three strikes. It plays free in any browser, on phone or desktop, with nothing to download.
How it works
- Pick a challenge above to start a run.
- Guess letters to reveal a hidden place name — six wrong letters end that word.
- Solve words to grow your score; three failed words end the run.
- The further you get, the harder the names become.
