Hangman Mind Boggler

Hangman.

A game for two players, X and O. The first player "X", chooses a word or a short phrase and the guesser, "O" must guess it before the unfortunate character is 'hanged'. There are 24 letter spaces. X should black out the unneeded spaces, leaving the correct number for their word. If they choose a phrase, they should also black out the spaces between the words of the phrase. The "O" begins to guess letters. If that letter is in the word, the host writes in all the places it appears. If that letter does not appear, "X" fills out a dotted line on the hangman diagram. At any point, "O" may guess the word. If they are incorrect, another line is filled out on the hangman. If the hangman is completed (which takes six missed guesses),"O" has lost. If "O" guesses the word correctly before the hangman is completed, "O" wins.
