How to play

  1. The goal is to help the group find secret answers and finish with more points than the other players.

  2. Each round, the app appoints one clue-giver. Only they see the secret answer and exactly ten allowed words; everyone else guesses independently.

  3. The 70-second timer starts with the round. The clue-giver may send up to five different clues, and each one appears immediately for every guesser.

  4. Build each clue by tapping 1–12 tiles. Allowed words may be repeated and reordered but never changed; an identical clue cannot be sent twice.

  5. Do not add other words, letters, numbers, emoji, or translations. Spoken hints, gestures, and any communication outside the app are also forbidden.

  6. After the first clue, each guesser gets five attempts. A repeated guess does not use an attempt, and incorrect guesses remain private to their author until the round ends.

  7. The first accepted correct answer or supported synonym ends the round immediately. No points are awarded if time expires or every guesser runs out of attempts; the answer and all guesses are then revealed.

  8. The guesser earns 200 points and the clue-giver earns 100. With 2 players everyone gives clues three times, with 3–5 players twice, and with 6–12 once. The highest score wins; equal scores result in a tie.
