.SH NAME
uhm \- ultra hangman
.SH SYNPOSIS
uhm [-h] [-w \fIword\fP] [-d \fIfile\fP]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Play a game of hangman, optionally using a custom dictionary or custom word.
The terminal screen will always get cleared before playing.
The player can input a single letter per turn. The player's turn is indicated
by a caret `> ' prompt. When the word contains the input letter, the player
keeps the same amount of turns. When the word does not contain the input
letter, the player loses a turn. The game exits once all turns are depleted, or
the player has guessed the word.
.SH OPTIONS

\fB-h\fP
Show help
.TP
\fB-w \fIword\fP
Set custom word to \fIword\fP
.TP
\fB-d \fIfile\fP
Load random word from dictionary \fIfile\fP.
\fIfile\fP must be a regular file containing a single word on each line. The
default dictionary used is /usr/share/dict/words.
Any words containing spaces, apostrophes, or words longer than 12 characters
will get filtered.

.SH NOTES
The main game logic is programmed in \fBawk\fR(1), so this implementation also
supports non-ascii words.
