DESCRIPTION

This is yet another text-based implementation of the popular word game Hangman. In Hangman, you guess a word letter-by-letter. There is a maximum of seven wrong guesses. Each wrong guess will incrementally draw a figure of a man being hung. What's different about this particular variant:

• Longer phrases are allowed

• Wordlists (or phrase list) are searched from WordList::* modules

OPTIONS

--list=s, -l

Select word-/phraselist, will be searched in Wordlist::* or WordList::Phrase::.

--wordlist=s, -w

Alias for --wordlist.

--min-len=i

Minimum word/phrase length. The default is 5 for word, 0 for phrase.

--max-len=i

Maximum word/phrase length. The default is unlimited.
