How to play
1Team up

Tap the button every time you give a spoken hint. You have 15 hints in total for all 8 words.
3Tap when guessed
When your partner says the right word, tap it to mark it as guessed and move on.
Tips
- → Lead with your strongest single word. One perfect clue often beats a full sentence.
- → Skip filler words like “it’s a” or “kind of”; they cost the same as useful ones.
- → Guessers: shout out guesses early. A wrong guess costs nothing, but waiting costs your partner words.
