How-to, tips & answers

In a lobby, everyone plays at the same time on their own device. You all get the same letter and categories. Answers stay hidden until the review. You can also take turns on one device.

How to play

  1. Create a lobby and share the code.
  2. Join on your own device and find words beginning with the same letter.
  3. Submit in time, compare answers and check the scores together.

One lobby, your own devices

One person creates a lobby and shares the code or QR code. Everyone joins with their name. The host picks the players, two to eight categories and the time limit. Submit before time runs out. Answers appear for everyone once all players have submitted or the host opens the review.

You make the final call

The game suggests 10 points for a unique answer, 5 for a duplicate and 0 for a blank answer or one starting with the wrong letter. You decide together whether each word actually fits its category. Suggested scores can be changed.

Good to know

Can we share one device?

Yes. Without a lobby, 2 to 12 people take turns on one device, with the same time for each person. Answers are only shown at the end. To play together on separate devices, use an online lobby.
