Hang Mouse Word Game Choose a topic and pick letters to figure out the word. Hangmouse is an amusing game. The game is quite similar to the old fashioned game that asks the player to guess the letters in a word. The player gets only a limited number of guesses before the stick man is revealed and the game is over. In HangMouse, however, the little mouse is trying to get the cheese. HangMouse is proprietary game owned by Vkiz Inc and used on SpellingCity.com, LearningGAmesforKids.com, and Vocabulary.co.il. Sorry, this is a flash-based game that requires Adobe Flash Player. Many of these games will run on mobile devices with VocabularySpellingCity apps. For Apple devices Available for Android Learn More about www.VocabularySpellingCity.com!
