Hangman with a proper word bank: 240 words spread across eight categories, and the category is shown as your hint. Six wrong guesses fill in the gallows drawing piece by piece; the word or the drawing finishes first.
Nothing listed in the connect popup: the calculator has to be plugged in and switched on to appear. Wake it up, check the USB cable (charge-only cables won't work), or move to a different port. Close any other tab that's using the calculator.

Controls
- The letter keys guess a letter. Press the key with the letter printed above it in green, with no ALPHA press needed. Guessing the same letter twice changes nothing.
- The arrows, ENTER, 2nd and alpha do nothing during a round.
- CLEAR gives up the round, resets your streak to 0 and goes back to the title screen. Press it again there to quit.
- ENTER starts from the title screen, and plays the next word after a round. CLEAR on that prompt goes back to the title screen. Letter keys, 2nd and alpha are ignored there so a stray keystroke can't skip the answer.
The letter grid
An A-to-Z grid sits under the puzzle. It only shows which letters you've already tried, so you never waste a turn repeating yourself.
The word bank
Categories are FOOD, ANIMAL, SPORTS, SCHOOL, TECH, MOVIES, MUSIC, and SPACE, all everyday vocabulary rather than dictionary traps. The game deals from a shuffled deck, so you'll see all 240 words before any repeats. Wins chain into a streak, and your best streak is saved.
