Hangman Core Solver

A: Use a period (.) or underscore (_) to represent an unknown position, and type the letters you already know in their correct positions. For example, C.T.R represents a five-character pattern with C, T, and R known while the remaining positions are unknown.

A: The color intensity reflects how frequently a letter appears among the remaining possible words. More strongly highlighted letters are therefore useful candidates when deciding what to guess next.

A: Yes. Once you enter the word pattern and excluded letters, the solver evaluates the remaining possibilities and highlights letters that occur frequently among them. This gives you a more informed next guess than choosing a letter at random.

A: Yes. Start with the word length and whatever letters you know. As more letters are revealed or eliminated, update the pattern to make the remaining possibilities increasingly precise.

A: It compares the known pattern against the word list while removing words containing letters that have already been eliminated. Every new revealed or excluded letter reduces the number of possible candidates.
