Ye Olde Hangman Game

Ye Olde Hangman game is a variation of the classic hangman principle: the player has to reveal words or phrases by guessing the letters one a the time. If a letter is present, all instances of it are revealed. If the letter is wrong, the player gets a strike. There are two possible outcomes: after seven mistakes the man hangs and the game is lost; guessing everything correctly sets him free. Despite the title, the hidden phrases/words are contemporary and the writing is in modern English.
