The classic pen-and-paper word game
Everyone takes a sheet of paper. The app rolls a random letter and shows the categories – for example city, country, river, animal, name and job. When the timer starts, everyone writes one word per category beginning with that letter. Whoever finishes first may shout “Stop!” – or play until the timer ends.
Then compare answers: 10 points for a word nobody else has, 5 points if someone has the same word, 0 for an empty box. Enter the points per player and the app adds them up. Letters are not repeated until all have been used.
How to use
- Optionally adjust the categories (one per line) and enter the players’ names.
- Tap Roll a letter – the timer starts.
- Everyone writes a word for each category on paper.
- Compare answers and enter the points: 10 unique, 5 shared, 0 empty.
