Is it possible to set variable before hosts in playbook?

Something like this doesn't work:

var:
 VARHOSTNAME: test

- hosts: "{{ VARHOSTNAME }}"
  gather_facts: true
  become: yes

I know I can set variable in vars file or pass in environment values at
command line but wanted to know if i can just define variable directly at
the playbook level.

You can have vars as part of the play

- hosts: "{{ VARHOSTNAME }}"
  gather_facts: true
  become: yes
  vars:
    VARHOSTNAME: test
