How to play
- Choose Online and Play a friend, pick how many players, turns and seconds, and send the link. The host starts when everyone is in (or play on Same device and pass it round).
- When it's your turn, pick one of three words: easy, medium or hard. Harder words are worth more points.
- Draw it before the time runs out. No letters or numbers! You have a pen, a marker, fill, an eraser, colours and three sizes.
- Everyone else types guesses. Letters in the right place fill in your own blanks and score a few points; the first to type the whole word wins the turn. Wrong guesses show up for all to see, and Hops tells you privately when you're close.
- Blanks show how many letters the word has, and letters appear for everyone at half time and with a quarter left. After everyone has drawn, the highest score wins.
Tips to win
- Draw the big shape first, then add one detail that gives it away: ears and whiskers turn a circle into a cat.
- For hard words, draw the parts: 'sandcastle' is a bucket of sand and a castle.
- Guessers: keep typing. Every letter in the right place fills in your blanks, and wrong guesses cost nothing.
- Watch the blanks: the number of letters and spaces narrows it down a lot.

Questions
How do you play guess the drawing?
One player gets a secret word and draws it without letters or numbers; the others type guesses. Letters in the right place fill in, and the first to type the whole word wins the turn and the most points. Everyone takes a turn to draw.
How many people can play?
2 to 8 players. Online, everyone plays on their own device with an invite link. On one device, the artist draws and the others take turns typing their guesses on it.
How are points scored?
