Following the custom of each year, this year we offer again in the summer number, the number of July and August, a slightly lower number than the programs we publish throughout the year.

When we say Xamurrio we do not talk about the structure of the program, but about its use, and there is no doubt that the games are the most attractive from the point of view of its use and perhaps the most suitable for this year.

Most of you will know the game known as HANGMAN. One of the players (in this case the computer) will choose a word and the other will have to add letters, indicating whether or not it has been successful for each letter it says and the number of times it has been successful and the position of the word in which it appears.

At the beginning of the game a urka will be prepared in which a part of the body will be represented for every failure that occurs during the game, until all the letters of the word are invented or hanged after having represented the whole body.

Despite being a game, we think it can be very useful to work the vocabulary, but that opinion remains in the hands of users.

So cheer up and play!
