Become a reasonably good guesser...

In order of importance :-)

1. Get to recognise conventions used by other players in sketches (such as a purring cat for "perfect" and a sitting person getting up for "stand"). Learn how the simple or more common sketches are usually done.

2. Relax! Don't bother guessing unless you actually think you understand the sketch. E.g. Early on when a stick figure is all that can be seen, the chances of winning with simple guesses like "man" or "person" are low and typing your guesses may distract you from watching the sketch unfold. (Instead, see whether there is anything odd the way the stick figure was drawn.)

Another small benefit is that if you are on the right track and the sketcher tells you by drawing an arrow to you, you can pick it up more easily.

3. Pre-empt other players if possible. E.g. when a car is drawn, it may be possible to guess "driver" or "bumper" early. "Teakettle" is another good one.

4. Fast typing helps but isn't everything - getting the correct version of a word or phrase is more important.

Why is it imposible to type guesses on here? Is it just my connection or is it the entire site? It drives me crazy when i have a word typed out then i hit enter only to realize its just a jumble of letters! Then someone steals my word =[ Why?!

Also when its a long word that is broken up in two sections ( with brackets )like tea kettle.. for example if someone guesses tea and the drawer does some ticks you should already have written tea in your guess box so when you get the other part ( kettle ) it doesn't take as long to type it in.
