Frequently Asked Questions

How many words are in this list?

About 650 — roughly 220 easy, 220 medium, and 210 hard. Every entry is drawable in 60 seconds and family-friendly across all tiers.

Is there a PDF download?

No separate PDF. The page prints cleanly with built-in styles — site chrome is hidden, the word list lays out in three columns. Save as PDF from the print dialog if you want a file.

Are these the same words as the live generator?

Yes. The list and the generator share the same 650-word bank. Anything you print here can show up in a live round.

Can I print just one tier?

Use your browser print preview to select a page range, or copy the column you want into a doc. The tiers are clearly grouped so it is easy to extract one.

Why not just use the generator?

Most groups will. The list page is for game nights with no Wi-Fi, classrooms without devices, or hosts who like the analog hat-pulling ritual.
