Every charades night hits the same wall: "I can't think of a word." Bookmark this list — or let Guess It! deal the cards for you across dozens of built-in categories.
Easy (kids & warm-ups)
Animals: dog, cat, elephant, penguin, kangaroo, snake, butterfly, shark. Actions: swimming, sleeping, dancing, brushing teeth, driving. Things: pizza, guitar, umbrella, balloon, toothbrush. Short, concrete, actable — perfect for family rounds.
Medium (mixed groups)
Jobs: firefighter, dentist, referee, barista, astronaut. Sports: archery, curling, fencing, water polo. Around the world: Eiffel Tower, pyramids, sushi chef, gondola. Movies & stories: pirate, vampire, superhero landing, slow-motion chase.
Hard (veterans only)
Abstract: déjà vu, procrastination, awkward silence, Monday morning. Compound actions: parallel parking, untangling headphones, walking on hot sand. Internet-era: buffering, autocorrect fail, video call frozen mid-sentence.
Impossible (for bragging rights)
Photosynthesis. Inflation. Existential dread. The feeling when the bus leaves early. Deal these only to people you love — or people you want to watch suffer.
