************************

This is a version of the classic Hangman game which is designed to help grade school age children improve their vocabulary and spelling. It is appropriate for use in a classroom or at home. With this version you can:

	-Use the word list of approximately 300 words 
	included with Hangman 
	-Create your own word list
	-Include definitions to improve vocabulary
	-Transfer words and definitions from one word 
	list to another
	-Play the game using the mouse or keyboard

The object of Hangman is to guess all of the letters in a word before the Hangman is drawn. If the letter which is guessed is in the word it is shown. If the letter is not in the word, another line is drawn on the Hangman.
