The Ruby Hangman Tournament

Micah Martin has commenced his latest Ruby tournament, following up to the previous Ruby Battleship Tournament. This time around, you're challenged with creating an AI to play and win at hangman. His site provides you with a jump start guide to get you off the ground and submissions will be graded not only on completion time, but more importantly, on code quality. The Ruby Hangman Tournament runs until the end of September.
