OK, HEAR ME OUT.
I THINK I KNOW THE BACKSTORY TO THE GAME HANGMAN. WHAT IF THERE WERE TWO MEN NAMED BILLY AND JOHN, WHO ARE FRIENDS, AND WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR EACH OTHER. JOHN; BILLY; THEN, ONE DAY, BILLY GOES MISSING. HE'S BEEN KIDNAPPED. ? JOHN FINDS BILLY, BUT THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE BILLY IS TO GUESS A PHRASE, OR ELSE BILLY WILL BE HUNG. JOHN WAS ALLOWED TO GUESS LETTERS HOWEVER, TO HELP HIM GET THE PHRASE CORRECT. uhhh... JOHN GUESSES CORRECTLY, AND BILLY IS SAVED. AS JOHN AND BILLY GROW, THEY TELL THEIR GRANDCHILDREN THEIR STORY. THE GRANDCHILDREN MAKE A GAME OUT OF IT, BUT SOFTEN IT A LITTLE BIT TO MAKE IT LESS INNAPROPRIATE. ... ... am has game; ...OR MAYBE I'M JUST CRAZY.
