     In hangman, the computer picks a word from the on-line  word
list and you
     must  try  to  guess  it.  The computer keeps track of which
letters have
     been guessed and how many wrong guesses you have made on the
screen in a
     graphic fashion.

     -d     Use the specified wordlist instead of the default.  A
wordlist file
           must have one word per line.  Only lowercase words  of
at least a
           certain length (typically 6 characters) are chosen.
