All players play as Describers, and are assigned a secret word. You'll write a description of your word to help a Guesser guess what it is.
example:
[ You're a Describer! Your word is CAT ]
But don't be too obvious, because on your turn, all other players (besides the Guesser) will be Redactors, who will be submitting a list of words that they'll predict you used in your description. All words correctly predicted will be redacted from your description when it's revealed, making it harder for the Guesser to guess.
So instead of:
❌ " This is a furry animal that meows and purrs. "
Try something like:
✅ " These domesticated creatures are sometimes jerks who knock cups off your desk. "

GAME OVER
ROUND

Type as much as you like in the box below to help your assigned guesser (TBD) guess your word!
- Avoid using obvious language, which the redactors would have a good chance to redact.
- Don't use any part of the answer word; don't give clues for how your word is spelled, or what it sounds like/rhymes with.
- Any words not in our dictionary will automatically be redacted.
You submitted your clue.

REDACTIONARY is a competitive party word game that's fun and free!
Each turn, one player is the Describer, who will have pre-written a description of a secret word, to help the Guesser guess what the word is.
Everyone else is a Redactor, who each submits a list of words they predict the Describer used in their description. All words correctly predicted score points, and will be redacted from the description when it's revealed, making it harder for the Guesser to guess the word.
Scoring: Redactors get 1 point for every word they redact from each description; 2 points if they were the only one who typed that word. Multiple instances of any given word redacted in a description count once. The Describer and Guesser each get 4 points for a correct guess.

WHAT IS PILEUP MODE?
PILEUP MODE is an alternate competitive way of playing Crashword where the object is to crash on purpose!
On each turn, clue-givers score a number of points equal to the number of players involved in their crash, e.g. if you and 3 other people typed the same clue, you would each get 4 points. So in order to win, you don't just want to crash, you want to crash on the most popularly written clues!
If the guesser guesses their word right, they score the same number of points as the clue-givers involved in the biggest crash.
Streamer Mode
Streamer Mode spawns a separate, small window where you'll type your clues and guesses privately, making the main game screen safe to broadcast to a livestream audience publicly.
