Yep. Diamond/champagne glass (which I feel really stupid for missing), pyramid, weeping man. You would have died laughing at me trying to figure it out. ---

By the way, I just had to look up who’s 12 for the Patriots. At least I did recognize the logo. ---

One person I am playing drew a flag for the word, which was the name of a country. I did not know that flag. I spent a LOT of time trying to find out what country it represented! Amazing how you can find flag images, but many are not identified… (I finally found it and now I will know that forever…) ---

since there doesn’t seem to be a time limit, I think I’m going to try make a huge mural type picture, all detailed and involved, for the easiest word. Like drawing the Last Supper, and circling one of the plates on the table. ETA It would probably bore the recipient to death, though… ---

Folks playing me, I apologize for delays. I’ve been busy and I swear that last night, Draw Something was not telling me when you all sent pictures. I woke up this morning to a bunch of them. ---

> [@Babale](#): > > I love when you descramble the words before the drawing is done, or even more than a few lines. I’m picturing the other guy saying, “How did he KNOW?!” I don’t like doing that simply because they might’ve taken 2 minutes to make a nice drawing and I’d hate to cut them off 10 seconds in and not see the rest of it, cause then it seems like a waste that they went through that extra effort. On the other hand, you need to proclaim how clever you are (!) by getting it early. So what I usually do is fill in all but the last letters when I figure out what it is, then let it finish drawing, then solve it. ---

I’m going down this thread adding Dopers as I see them… my username is BomTek910. ETA: I’m playing on my iPhone, and I have an Otterbox cover because of the kiddo, so my drawings are probably going to be shit, but so it goes. ---

Add me! I’m DebuMontand. I’ve only been playing for a few days, and don’t know anyone IRL that plays this, so I’m trolling for fellow players, and after I found her name on here, Drain Bead has been kind enough to play with me. Most players make an effort to draw something, and really try to figure out what I’ve drawn. Then there are those who click “pass” before my drawing has even finished loading, or who give up on trying to spell ‘sandwich’ after a couple of attempts, and just pass. Those are usually the same folks who write in the answers to their drawings, instead of trying to draw anything at all. What’s the point, man? I’m on my iPhone too, and my fat fingers make it tough to add subtlety. Some of the drawings I’ve seen are truly inspired, though. Lots of fun! ---

By the way, ThinkGeek has a few styluses (is that the correct plural form?) that work on iPhone and iPad, &c. [Here’s](http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/cellphone/b8dd/?srp=1) one for $15, and [this one](http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/cellphone/ed01/?srp=4) is $22 for the “mini” and $30 for the regular. If you feel like looking REALLY silly, you should get [this one](http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/cellphone/e744/?srp=2) for $10 and make sure to carry it with you everywhere! ---

Thanks, BomTek. I think I’ve tried every thinnish-but-not-too-pointy item in my silverware drawer/desk at work/behind the couch, but alas, it was the electrons that were missing. I tried adding you, but it tells me you’re already on my list. But I don’t seeeeee youu… ---
