Why a new Hangman Solver?
There are numerous hangman solvers online, so why make another one? I had noticed that there weren't any hangman solvers online that had all of the features I wanted; they all were missing essentials that I thought would make the best hangman solver. Some of them had ads, most didn't have word/letter probabilities, and I didn't find a single one with an interface that I liked or was easy to use. Also, the dictionaries for each solver either didn't have enough words or had so many words that they were including gibberish. There were also not many that used word frequencies to calculate letter probabilities. Because of all of these problems with the current sites, I decided to just go ahead and make my own Hangman solver that solved all of these problems.

Features:
-Free with no ads.
-Clean interface/Intuitive
-Works on mobile and desktop
-Displays letter probabilities and possible words
-Uses an 11,202-word dictionary, sorted into 8 tiers based on real-world frequency.
-You can add custom words easily
-Built so you can use it easily while you are actually playing Hangman or another word game.
-Adjustable guesses counter
-Light/Dark mode
-Works offline

How it works:
It uses letter frequency to calculate the probabilities. It has a very large dictionary sorted into 8 sections with different weightings, based on how frequently they are used, so common words are weighted higher than obscure words. It also has a spot to add custom words. When letters are close in probability, it determines which letter reveals the most information, and then picks that letter.

How it was made:
It is coded with Claude, but that is only because I don't know how to code. I spent a lot of time making the interface as intuitive, clean, and visually appealing as I could. When I was looking to find a website to host my HTML, I first stumbled on Tencent Cloud. It seemed good enough, and it was free, so I decided to use it, so that is why the website has the edgeone.dev domain.
