Where 4-letter words matter
Four letters is the sweet spot for Hangman: long enough to have structure, short enough that a word built on rare letters ('jazz', 'jinx', 'lynx') can survive an entire alphabet of common guesses. If you want brutal Hangman material, this is the length to mine.
It's also the heart of everyday vocabulary — a huge share of the words we speak most often are four letters — which makes this length ideal for fast-paced party games and for early writing prompts, where obscure words would slow everyone down.
