I have been "observing".The "veterans" or sketchers who have been here for quite a while...they have certain symbols resembles certain words(for e.g a box and an arrow into the box means in, a car and a traffic light means cargo).When "veteran" sketchers play with new sketchers, they are clueless about these symbols and hence they start to get upset because they did not understand these symbols.So, my suggestion for new players, spend sometime watching how "veterans" play. You might get a lil' tips from them. Understand the lead. I was one clueless about these symbols but after spending some time observing how "veterans" like BettyBlue,Maya,Tay,Jherr and many others play, I understand more and grow better =)The key is to observe. Feel free to ask anything(xcept if you ask me to shut up cuz i can't XD) =) I think that's about it.

We all know that there are plenty of weird words in here. When we get weird words that we're not familiar with, we pass. instead of passing and losing points, why don't prepare a tab to Google words that you're not familiar with. trust me, you will not run out of time for this=)I assure you guys will grow better in this game and maybe in knowledge too=)
don't underestimate the power of Google =P

I have observed that some players uses symbols for each letters. I used this method once and now i have stopped using this method. Now, I understand how it annoyed people to use symbols for each letters. If i can stop doing that (drawing symbols for each letters)i bet you can do the same too. Even if you do not know the meaning of the word, make use of Google definition. Better yet, Google image. Trust me, you will not run out of time plus you can grow better. Next, the use of second hint(especially 2 words guess). We are already granted with the Hint button with the hint for the first letter. I am not sure if this consider as cheating too, but for me it is.Yeah, we do get tough words once in a while. Just try to figure out how are you gonna draw it.There's no more challenge in this game if this continues.I love and respect this game. Until then..

Check yourself before you wreck yourself >:)
