App Summary
Ultimate Hangman is a great version of the classic pencil and paper game. It contains 73 word categories covering everything from adjectives to animals and clothes to countries. There are also 7 random modes so there are ample opportunities to develop both vocabulary and spelling skills. Ultimate Hangman also contains four great themes: Doodle Hangman, Chillin' Chalk, Christmas Snowman and Flower Power.
Doodle Hangman gives an added dimension to the game by bringing the characters to life in beautifully crafted doodle form. There are multiple animations per sequence so you are never quite sure what he is going to do next. However, parents and teachers should be warned through that these sequences would not be suitable for younger children due to the slightly more realistic depiction of the hangman process.
Chillin' Chalk is a school house chalkboard theme where the hangman character is reproduced in stick form. The Christmas Snowman theme works the other way around. As children choose incorrect letters the snowman disappears. The final theme, Flower Power, is very similar to this with petals that fly away when incorrect letters are selected. Each theme has a two player mode that allows one student to enter their own words for someone else to guess. As with Ultimate Word Search it is possible to look up words in the dictionary from within the app.
