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.

1/19/2018·wotc

Each letter can be guessed only once.

1/19/2018·wotc

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