What is Florida Hangman?

Florida Hangman is a free daily word game built on real “Florida Man” news headlines. Every day you get a headline that was actually published on this calendar date in a past year, with two or three words hidden. Fill in the blanks before the hangman is finished.

How do you play?

Tap a blank and type your guess. The number in the box tells you how many characters the missing word has. A correct guess locks in; a wrong guess draws another part of the hangman and reveals the next letter of that word. You get six misses.

Are the headlines real?

Yes. Every puzzle links to the original article from outlets like NBC Miami, CBS News, Fox News, the New York Daily News, and local Florida TV stations. Nothing is made up, which is the whole point.

Is it like Wordle?

It has the same rhythm: one puzzle a day, the same puzzle for everyone, a streak to protect, and a result you can share. The difference is that instead of a random five-letter word, you are guessing the missing words in a real headline, and you can go back and play the previous seven days.

Free to play, no account needed. Your streak and stats are saved in your browser. Made in Florida, naturally.
