Hide-word mode for fair turns
Pass the screen to the next drawer without the rest of the table seeing the word.
Adjustable timer
30, 60, 90, or 120 seconds — start with the longer presets for younger kids and shorten as they get faster.

Two-team counter with big tap targets so kids can hit the score themselves.
No ads, no signup
Loads fast on a phone or tablet handed around a couch. Works after the first load even on flaky Wi-Fi.

A tablet at the craft table with the kids preset; kids cycle through rounds whenever they need a break from cake.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the words really safe for young children?
- Yes. Easy tier is filtered to animals, food, objects, and nature only — no abstract concepts, no idioms, no proper nouns, no media references. Every word is a thing a child has seen.
What age range is this best for?
- Roughly ages 5–10. Younger preschoolers may need help reading the prompt, but the categories themselves (cat, pizza, sun, tree) are recognizable from age 3 up.
Can the kids draw on the device, or do we need paper?
- You need paper or a whiteboard — this page is the word generator, not a drawing surface. Phone shows the word, kid draws on paper, others guess.
How do I make it harder for older kids?
- Switch the difficulty to Medium on the main generator page. Or keep the kids preset and shorten the timer to 30 seconds — speed adds difficulty without changing what they need to know.
