The Hangman template is to be used for each game. The following parameters are used in this template to display the game in progress:
word:The word (pattern) to be guessed. Blanks are represented by dots ( _ ) and guessed letters are filled in by the executioner in capitals
guess:The current guess. This is one letter added to the template by the guesser (put the letter after "guess=" and before "|"). It is removed and added to the word (or misses) by the executioner.
misses:The list of missed letters already guessed. These should be listed in alphabetical order in lower-case.
misscount:The executioner keeps track of the miss count. This starts at 0 and is incremented by 1 when the guesser makes an incorrect guess. A miss count of 6 means the guesser has lost the game.
