Introduction
Are you looking for a fun and engaging C
programming project? The Hangman Game in
C is an excellent beginner-level project that helps students learn file handling, loops, conditional
statements, and string manipulation in a practical way. 🎯
In this blog, we’ll explore how to create
a console-based Hangman game in C,
complete with word selection from a file, guess tracking, and win/loss
conditions. Let’s get started! 🚀
💡 Project
Overview
Hangman is a classic word-guessing game where a player tries to guess a hidden
word one letter at a time. The
player wins by guessing all letters before running out of attempts.
✔
Programming
Language:
C
✔ IDE Used: Code::Blocks with MinGW C Compiler
✔ Target Audience: School students (8-16 years) &
Beginners
✔ Main Concepts Used: Loops,
Functions, Strings, File Handling
🛠Features of
Hangman Game in C
✅
Random Word
Selection
– The game selects a word from a predefined file.
✅ Letter Guessing System – Players guess one letter at a time.
✅ Limited Attempts – A player can
only make 6 incorrect guesses before losing.
✅ Dynamic Word Display – The word updates as letters are
guessed.
✅ Win/Loss Condition Handling –

🔹 Step 3: The player guesses letters one by one.
🔹 Step 4: If the guess is correct, the letter is revealed; if wrong,
attempts are reduced.
🔹 Step 5: The game continues until the player wins or loses.

Step 1: Copy and paste the C code
into Code::Blocks and save it as hangman.c.
✅ Step 2: Create a words.txt file and add words (one per line).
