This is the second part of my series on hangman words. In the first article I told you about the common words that will win for you. Today I will discuss winning with three letter words. Normally you would want long and obscure words to try and stump your opponent. However, there are some three letter words that will work just as well. The key is to find words with uncommon letters. The letters w, x, y, and z are always good ones. There are actually quite a few three letter words with no vowels in them. Well-known words such as “gym” or “why” are rarely used, yet they stump quite a few people. If you bet your friends that you can beat them using only three letter words, they will laugh and probably take the bet. Here is a list of good words to use. Good luck.

• Gym
• Ivy
• Why
• Vow
• Dye
• Owl
• Wry
• Wiz
• Awl
• Pyx
