The basic setup for this game is that the program will generate a random word from a preset word-bank and the user will have to guess each letter of the word correctly. Every time he/she guesses incorrectly, a piece of a hanging man will appear. For the first wrong guess, the head of the man will appear and for the second wrong guess, the body of the man appears and so on. When the final body part of the hanging man (which happens to be the right leg) appears, the user will lose the game. Therefore, the main goal of the game is to successfully guess all the letters of the word before reaching that stage.
