Frequently asked questions
Does it hide the word from whoever is drawing it?
Yes. The word stays hidden behind a reveal click, so the host can pick a word without other players seeing it first.
Can I filter by category or difficulty?
Yes. Filter by category (like animals or food) and difficulty (word length) to match your group.
Does it show the letter count?
Yes. It shows blanks for each letter so players know how long the word is before it's revealed.
