Executioner (7)

I believe the answer is:

hangman

'executioner' is the definition.
(I know that executioner is a type of executioner)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for hangman that I've seen before include "Killer" , "official suspending offenders" , "He suspends" , "Word game - executioner" , "Official executioner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the Evening Standard and The Telegraph.
