Looking for a quick game to play with friends?

Word Spy is a free, interactive pass-and-play word game for friends, family, and groups of 4–10. It works in a browser on one shared phone or tablet, so players can join the same round without installing separate apps or creating player accounts.

How the hidden-word game works

At the start of a round, most players secretly receive the same word. One imposter receives a different word that is still related. Take turns giving one short spoken hint without saying the word, discuss the clues, and vote for the person who seems out of place. The reveal shows the imposter, both words, and the vote tally.
