How to play

  1. The thinker secretly picks a word from three suggestions, or types their own.
  2. Everyone else asks yes/no questions. The thinker answers Yes, No, Maybe or Doesn't matter.
  3. Anyone can guess at any time, but you only get a few guesses per round.
  4. Guess it with fewer questions used to score more. If nobody gets it within 20 questions or before time runs out, the thinker scores.
