If you don’t type in a name, the site will generate a random one for you, like “Happy Meal” or “Bus Driver”. Your name can only be a certain amount of characters long, so avoid making it too long. Check out our guide on choosing a safe screen name for more info.

If you want a random look, click the randomize button to the right of the character editor.

Alternatively, if you’re going to play with friends, click Create Private Room. See the Private Room method below for more info.

At the top of the page, there are dashes indicating how many letters are in the word, and what letters you’ve guessed correctly. Use the green thumbs up and red thumbs down buttons to indicate your opinion on the drawing.

Correctly guessing the word will give you points! Letters will replace the dashes as you guess words containing letters in the hidden word. If somebody guesses the word, it will say “PLAYER has guessed the word”. That person’s messages won’t appear to players who haven’t guessed the word yet for that round. Guesses won’t register as correct if you type a group of words or misspell the word (it might say that you’re close).

If you are not satisfied with your image you can press the trash button to clear the page and start over.
