My name is Brynda Q. I am a slow at drawing, but I am pretty good.
Ok, now that we can save drawings, how do we view them?
In your cameraroll, I think. On Ios, anyway.
Thanks!
I thought it was somewhere within the game. Guess not.
I tried to start a game with you but it said your username wasn’t found. I’m Meeplet, if you want to add me.
After playing awhile I’ve come up with another complaint. The lack of words to choose from.
What happens is that people play long enough and see all the words there are. Then they start playing the game like a jumble. Half my opponents can guess my word before I’ve even gotten to the part where I’m drawing the thing they should be guessing! What’s the fun in that?
A solution is an option to remove the jumble at the bottom and you have to guess the word entirely from scratch. And add more words!
Yep. I’ve slowed down the last week or so (work’s been busy) but I’ve been noticing that several of my opponents are guessing my drawing much earlier. I’ve started drawing less involved pics since it seems like folks are more in a hurry (which I sympathize with–sometimes it’s really hard to sit there and watch an whole drawing play out when you’re in a hurry and you knew what it is after the first 30 seconds.)
BTW, saw this the other day and was amused.

Yeah…the game is off my rotation for now. Yes, I do tend to overdraw a bit (I love to draw, even if I’m not good at it!) and I don’t mind if the guess comes after the barest bones of my depiction, but when the word is guessed before I have even made a line, it seems pointless. I don’t (or didn’t) play this when I am in a hurry, and I am courteous enough to watch most of what the person has done with the word–they are making an effort and putting their time into it, so I watch at least the greatest portion of it, and I appreciate the same consideration. Anyway, what a great concept to simply take away the letters entirely! They would still need new words–we don’t need the letters to know these words when we see them (but at least the person drawing would have their efforts viewed for at least a few seconds!). This game was so much fun in the beginning, but now it’s Jumble with all of us knowing the possible words.
The lack of words is truly baffling. This game sold for like the GDP of French Guyana and yet they don’t have a person or two cranking out a list of words? It would be trivially easy to add 5000 words a week (harder after a couple months of that, but we’re nowhere near that point), and yet the game still has quite a small dictionary.
Those of you waiting for my drawings - sorry, I got super burnt out on the game and the tiny word lists. I’ve just been taking a break from it for a while. If my unplayed turns are bothering you, feel free to delete our games, and I’ll find you again when I come back to the game.
My daughter and I ran into an interesting bug the other day. I chose to draw the word “Giselle” and when I watched her trying to guess my word, the letters at the bottom were for a different word. Specifically, there was no “G” or “S”, and only a single “E” and “L”.
Her streak fell to 0.
She was still able to get green before me, though. Oh, wait … I still don’t have it!
I’m getting a little bored with it myself.
They need to change it up somehow. Especially by expanding the word list! And getting rid of the “pop culture” people.
I’m still hanging in there…to me, the drawing is the fun part, so I might spend some time on it. However, I don’t mind if people want to go ahead and guess immediately!
Me too. I’ve reduced it down to about 5 people I play against and honestly don’t mind if it is only 1 or 2 drawings by me per day.
Check out the update, y’all. They’ve got new words! In some cases, it will cost you a bomb to see more words, but then you can get like ten coins in payoff. Some other stuff is different too, I didn’t get to use it long yesterday.
Also, I’m very proud of one I did for my son last night. I didn’t save it but I recreated it here: LADY.
He got it right away because we had just introduced him to The Wonder Years (yay Netflix)! It’s the drawing their coach does for them in the sex ed episode.

After the update, it let me choose special words for more coin rewards. Once, and now it hasn’t offered me that chance again.
I think maybe it doesn’t do it every time.
Ok, now I have to check it out! I’ve kind of missed it, I imagine a lot of my games have been deleted at the other end, but we’ll see! I left feedback on their site (OMG) a few days ago as well about new words, maybe if they get a lot of those they will pile on the new ones.
My game has started showing people’s guesses way ahead of when they actually guessed, which is ruining some of the fun for me. I know they aren’t just guessing quickly because I’ve watched it with my opponents (husband, sister-in-law, etc) and they say “I didn’t guess the word that fast!” Must be a bug.
