The original inventor of the hangman word game is lost to history, but the hangman game was popular in 19th-century England. According to the Oxford Guide to Word Games, similar word games such as “Crash” and “Birds, Beasts and Fishes” were also popular in the era when the hangman game arose. The earliest record of hangman word game rules is the 1933 Book of Indoor Games by Hubert Phillips and B.C.
