+# Hangman
+
+**Tier:** 1 - Beginner
+
+The classic hangman game implemented in any language! Hangman is a very popular game which tests the players' guessing skills and vocabulary. A player is presented with a
+category and a corresponding word belonging to that category is displayed as all blanks (or with just the vowels filled in, based on the version). The player guesses a letter and 
+if that letter is present in the word, then all blanks where that particular letter occur are replaced. If the player guesses wrong, a line is drawn to complete the hangman figure
+and once all lines are drawn / the figure is complete, the player dies or fails the game. This is the typical version i.e while playing by hand but while implementing it programmatically,
+the player can be given a certain count of chances / lives to guess before dying.
+
+-   What is the purpose of this application?
+  
+    The purpose of this application is to explore programming languages by implementing random word picking, validation of user input and replacement of characters. The data structures
+    that could be understood with this application include strings, arrays / lists and dictionaries / maps.
+    
+-   Are there any resources needed in order to complete the project?
+  
+    The only important factor is the understanding of the game, how the validation works and the data structures you'd need depending on the language.
+
+## User Stories
+
+-   [ ] User can select the category
+-   [ ] User can view the word in blanks
+-   [ ] User can receive hint(s) regarding the word displayed
+-   [ ] User can type their guess
+-   [ ] User loses a chance for each incorrect guess
+-   [ ] User can score points if the entire word is correct
+-   [ ] User dies / does not get any points if their word is wrong or if they run out of chances
+
+
+## Bonus features
+
+-   [ ] Each incorrect guess can be modelled as a line and a hangman figure can be generated using GUI
+-   [ ] Users can play with each other instead of the computer
+-   [ ] User can view a leaderboard
+-   [ ] Timed game
