Random Word

A word nobody at the table chose, which is the only kind worth drawing for charades, pictionary or a two-minute writing warm-up. Set the difficulty and how many you want at once.

The word

Press Draw

The draw

How hard
Easy words are things you can point at. Hard ones are ideas, which is where charades gets interesting.

Recent words

  1. Nothing yet.

Three hundred words, sorted by how easy they are to act

Easy words are concrete: a chair, a bicycle, a cat. Hard ones are abstract: patience, gravity, nostalgia. Charades lives on the difference, so the setting matters more than the count.

With repeats off, a word is out of the bag for the rest of the session, which is what stops the same word coming up twice in one game.

For writing, too

Two random words and ten minutes is an old and reliable way to start writing when nothing is coming. Draw a handful and use the ones that stick.

The list ships with the page, so it keeps working with the network off.
