   • If you don't type in a name, the site will generate a random one for you, like "Happy Meal" or "Bus Driver".
   • Your name can only be a certain amount of characters long, so avoid making it too long.
   • Check out our guide on choosing a safe screen name for more info.

[Edit]How to Play

1. Wait for someone to start drawing. One person will draw at a time, with each player getting a turn to draw. If it’s your turn to draw, skip to the drawing step below.
   
   • At the top of the page, there are dashes indicating how many letters are in the word, and what letters you’ve guessed correctly.
   • Use the green thumbs up and red thumbs down buttons to indicate your opinion on the drawing.
2. Guess the word using the drawing and the dashes/letters. Type your guesses into the text box in the bottom right labeled “Type your guess here.” You have an unlimited amount of guesses, so if you get it wrong you can guess again.
   
   • Correctly guessing the word will give you points!
   • Letters will replace the dashes as you guess words containing letters in the hidden word.
   • If somebody guesses the word, it will say "PLAYER has guessed the word". That person's messages won't appear to players who haven't guessed the word yet for that round.
   • Guesses won't register as correct if you type a group of words or misspell the word (it might say that you’re close).
3. Pick a word when it’s your turn. You can choose from three randomly generated words to draw.
   
4. Draw your word. Illustrate the image as clearly as you can. You have a variety of colors and tools to use to make your drawing better.
   
   • If you are not satisfied with your image you can press the trash button to clear the page and start over.

[Edit]Interacting in the Game

   • See our guide about being safe on the internet for more information.
2. Be competitive but keep it fun. Be polite when interacting with other players. Don't send rude or insulting comments.
