In reply to treadmills post, I would like to inform all players that u MUST use the hint first letter button before writing in the first letter. And ONLY the first letter of the first word can be written. All other times the first letter is written, expect an in game warning or similar.
It is acceptable practice to use dashes for words/letters, but I would encourage our more experienced players to steer away from it unless necessary.
Numbers and symbols are also acceptable. We are currently lobbying Ryan to change this Rule as there are far too many words that cannot be drawn otherwise.
Have fun and play fair with your fellow Xsketchers!

I feel like Treadmill and I are in the twilight zone or something. This kid's internet game is more mentally challenging when you don't write the first letter out. I even see people write the letter and then start drawing! Quick cut is so into it she banned Treadmill for telling people not to cheat (albeit probably in a rude manner, but damn, blocking someone for not being nice?) I just can't figure this.

I just think if it's too hard for everyone, why not just automatically have the first letter pop up in order to save the drawer the time of writing it and so everyone can guess the answer that much quicker so they can get their name on the precious leaderboard and brag to their moms or something.

Think you should keep the game as it is because if you just give the first letter and "_ _ _ _" and they hint its the letter p automatically pros would guess part or whatever and its not very fun when you don't get to draw in a drawing game
