2 to 30 playersCategories: the letter game for groups
A letter appears, the clock starts. City with B? Animal with B? Job with B? Everyone fills in their list at the same time, and whoever is done first can call stop. Then the group checks the answers together, and only original ones score big.
- 2 to 30 players
- 10 to 20 minutes
- Classic, mixed or your own categories

How to play
- Open a room and share the link. Pick classic categories (City, Country, River, Name, Animal, Job), a new mix every round, or write your own.
- Every round shows a random letter. Fill in one answer per category that starts with it before the time runs out.
- Done with everything? Call stop. The others then have 10 more seconds.
- Everyone sees all answers and can veto nonsense. The answers are scored, and after the last round the podium shows who knows the most words.
Scoring
- 20 points when you are the only one with a valid answer in a category.
- 10 points for a unique answer, 5 when someone else wrote the same.
- No points for empty answers, answers with the wrong letter, or answers that most of the other players vetoed.
Settings
Rounds (1 to 10), time per round (60 seconds to 3 minutes), classic, mixed or your own categories, and the stop button on or off.
Tips
- Skip the obvious answer: if everyone writes Berlin, it is only worth 5.
- Write something in every category. An unusual answer beats an empty box.
- Your own categories make great team events: office stuff, company products, colleagues' hobbies.
Questions and answers
Is this like Scattergories?
Yes, it is the same classic letter game, also called Name, Place, Animal, Thing or Stadt, Land, Fluss. Here it runs in the browser, free, with automatic scoring.
Who decides if an answer counts?
Answers must start with the letter. Everything else is up to the group: tap to veto, and an answer is struck out when most of the other players agree.
Can we use our own categories?
Yes. Choose "Your own" in the lobby and write 3 to 10 categories, one per line.
