Questions
How does the random word generator pick words?
It draws from over 900 words with your browser's secure random numbers, and a shuffle bag keeps a word from coming back until the rest of your filter has been used. Nothing is uploaded.
What can I use random words for on stream?
Drawing prompts, story games where chat builds a tale around three words, word challenges, team names or a word of the day. For Pictionary and charades there is the charades generator.
What do easy, medium and hard mean?
Easy words are everyday and simple to draw, like cat or pizza. Medium words are a little less common, like lantern or wobble. Hard words are long or rare, like kaleidoscope or meander.
Can I get only nouns, verbs or adjectives?
Yes. Pick Nouns, Verbs or Adjectives under Word type, or Any for a mix. Each tile says which type its word is.
Can I keep a word and change the rest?
Yes. Click a word to keep it, then press New words. Kept words turn dark and stay put until you click them again.
How do I add the word generator to OBS?
Press Copy stream link, add a Browser source in OBS, paste the link and set it to 1920 by 1080. Right-click the source and pick Interact to draw new words while you are live.
