a word-guessing game that feels like a high-stakes survival challenge where a relentless antagonist distracts you while you race against time.

What players say
Players say Wordfright turns hangman into a tense game where you solve puzzles while an evil puppet tries to kill you. Some find the distraction mechanic annoying, but most enjoy the extra pressure and the custom word feature.
