What our analysis found

Hangman showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in June 2025.

Analyst notes

This is a straightforward Hangman word-guessing game extension. All JS files reviewed show purely game logic: word selection from a hardcoded local dictionary (), letter validation (), canvas drawing of the hangman figure (), i18n text substitution (), and a background service worker that only opens the game tab on click and sets an uninstall URL derived from the manifest's homepage_url ([domain withheld]). There is zero network, no calls, no remote code loading, and no data collection of any kind. The ML score of 0.45 is driven by benign signals: innerHTML used for game UI rendering, appendChild for DOM construction, and a file count typical of a small game extension. The publisher having 53% malicious other extensions is concerning context but does not change the code evidence here — this specific extension contains no malicious code.

About this extension

Hangman Puzzle Game.

Read the publisher’s full description

Playing Hangman, the classic word-guessing game, offers a surprising range of benefits—mentally, educationally, and even socially. While it may seem simple, Hangman strengthens cognitive skills and fosters a fun learning environment. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how this game can benefit players: Cognitive Benefits - Boosts Vocabulary and Spelling Skills Hangman is an excellent tool for expanding vocabulary and improving spelling accuracy. Players must recognize patterns in words, recall spelling rules, and use their existing word knowledge to make educated guesses. This reinforcement strengthens language retention. - Enhances Logical Thinking and Problem-Solving The process of selecting letters strategically requires logical reasoning. Players must analyze letter frequency, determine which letters are more likely to appear in a word, and make decisions based on probability. This kind of strategic thinking hones problem-solving skills. - Encourages Pattern Recognition Players begin to recognize common word structures, prefixes, suffixes, and letter combinations. Understanding these linguistic patterns improves spelling and comprehension over time. - Improves Memory and Recall To succeed in Hangman, players need to recall words they've previously learned and recognize familiar letter arrangements. This strengthens memory and reinforces language learning.
