How to play
  1. Privately find your target among six words. Pick 1–3 clue tiles from your hand of twelve, in reading order.
  2. Lock your clue. Your partner gets one guess from the six words, without seeing your target or unused tiles. No extra spoken clues or gestures.
  3. A correct guess earns 3 points for one tile, 2 for two, or 1 for three. A wrong guess or pass earns zero.

Two devices: both make clues, then both guess. Reveal both results together; the next pair starts automatically. Six pairs, 36 points possible together.

Same screen: pass the screen at each handoff and alternate clue-maker each round. Six rounds, 18 points possible together.

Exchange your whole hand once per round for free; it clears your selection. Or pass your clue for zero points. Online, you still guess your partner's clue. Show meanings whenever you like.
