Hangman can reveal alot about a student.

*Actual conversation during a game of hangman

the board looked like this:

Students: Teacher, Hint please!

Me: Ok, here is the hint : "This fruit tastes sweet"

Ria: DETERGENT

Me: Please don't tell me you eat detergent.

Ria: yes, one time teacher.

Me: Ok .... OK guys, pick another letter.

Ria: "D"

Me: No it isn't detergent!!!!

Random student:' WATERMELON"

Me: Yes, good job

Ria: OHHHHHHH, much better than detergent. Good word teacher.

Me: Thank you Ria.
