    Frequently asked questions

    What makes a good charades word?
    Something you can show with your body: an action, an animal, a job or a sport. Easy ones need one gesture; hard ones need a little scene.
    Where do the words and meanings come from?
    The meanings and example sentences come from WordNet, the free English dictionary database from Princeton University. Word frequency comes from the open wordfreq project, and syllable counts from the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary. See how it works.
    Is it really random?
    Yes. Words are picked with your browser's secure random number generator (the Web Crypto API), and one batch never repeats a word.
    Is it suitable for kids and classrooms?
    Yes. We removed swear words, slurs and adult terms from the whole list, so it is safe to use with children and on a projector.
