hangman

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'game' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'where suspense comes at the end?' is the second definition.
I know that 'suspense' relates to this answer. I also know that both the answer and definition are singular nouns

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hangman that I've seen before include "Official executioner" , "official suspending offenders" , "He suspends" , "Public executioner like Jack Ketch" , "Killer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Telegraph.
