    Although the inventor of Hangman is unknown, the game dates back to Victorian times. It was first mentioned in 1894 in "Traditional Games" by Alice Bertha Gomme. It went by the name Birds, Beasts and Fishes, even though the rules were the same.

    BQ: Wheel of Fortune is an American television game show created by Merv Griffin. Contestants compete to solve word puzzles, similar to those used in Hangman, to win cash and prizes.
