hangman, words - word games
SYNOPSIS
/usr/games/hangman [ dict ]
/usr/games/words
DESCRIPTION
Hangman chooses a word at least seven letters long from a word list. The user is to guess letters one at a time.
The optional argument names an alternate word list. The special name `-a' gets a particular very large word list.
Words prints all the uncapitalized words in the word list that can be made from letters in string.
FILES
/usr/dict/words the regular word list
/crp/dict/web2 the the -a word list
DIAGNOSTICS
After each round, hangman reports the average number of guesses per round and the number of rounds.
BUGS
Hyphenated compounds are run together.
UNIX software is distributed without the -a word list.
