Hangman is a paper and pencil guessing game for two or more players. One player thinks of a word and the other tries to guess it by suggesting letters or numbers within a certain number of guesses. The word to guess is represented by a row of dashes, representing each letter of the word. If the guessing player suggests a letter which occurs in the word, the other player writes it in all its correct positions. If the suggested letter or number does not occur in the word, then the player loses the chance.

If the player makes enough incorrect guesses such that he/she loses all his/her chances, then the game is over. I have developed hangman in JavaFX. You can see the source code below.
