## Rules questions

### Can I write a phrase or more than one word as my clue?

No — each player must write a single word as their clue (a digit, number, acronym, onomatopoeia, or special character counts as a single word). (p.2)

### Can I give a different form of the mystery word (like a plural, gender change, or conjugation)?

No — the Mystery word written differently or variants from the same word family (plurals, gender differences, spelling variants) are invalid and treated as identical/forbidden clues. (p.2)

### What happens if two or more players write the same clue?

All identical clues are cancelled during comparison by tipping those easels to hide them, and the active player will not see cancelled clues; if every clue is cancelled, the card is returned to the box and the turn ends. (p.2)

### If the active player says a word that sounds the same but is spelled differently, does it count as correct?

Yes — a guess that has the same pronunciation as the Mystery word is considered valid. (p.2)

### What are the consequences of a wrong guess or choosing to skip?

A wrong guess means you return the current card and the top card of the deck to the box; if the active player skips, return the current card to the box (and on a final-turn wrong guess you also remove a previously guessed card). (p.2)

### How does the 3‑player variant change clue writing?

With 3 players each person uses two easels and writes two clues (so each player provides two clues), and identical clues are still cancelled during comparison. (p.3)
