What makes weather words hard to guess in hangman?
Science vocabulary dominates Hard. Precipitation, condensation and meteorologist all come from Latin scientific roots, so they don't follow everyday English spelling.
Borrowed storm names. Monsoon (Arabic) and typhoon (Chinese/Arabic) both come largely unchanged from other languages.
-tion endings are everywhere. A large share of the hardest words share this ending, which makes it predictable but the front half harder.
Regional storm terms overlap. Hurricane, cyclone and typhoon describe the same kind of storm in different parts of the world, which can cause mix-ups with spelling.
Tips for guessing weather words
Test -tion endings on Hard. Precipitation and condensation both share this pattern โ once you spot it, it's worth testing early.
Guess vowels early. A, E, I, O and U cover a large share of weather vocabulary at every level.
Don't expect familiar patterns on borrowed storm names. Monsoon and typhoon come from other languages and don't follow typical English rules.
Take short words seriously on Easy. Three- and four-letter weather words leave little room for a wrong guess.
Guess R and O on Medium. Thunder, forecast, tornado and downpour all lean on both.
