us.jeffharris.hangman.Hangman is the simple find a word game played by children with pencil and paper the world over. Is it the best? Probably not. Is the the fastest? Probably not. However, I built it and it works.
This uses the /usr/share/dict/american-english word file from Ubuntu 19.04.
Most of the proper nouns and words with non-letter characters have been removed.
Maybe I missed one, maybe I didn't. There are 102401 lines of words in the
original file. If you find a non-letter character, file an
issue or a pull request.
