I wanted to let everyone know I am cleaning up the word list. I don't have a list that I can see, so I need to know which words need to be removed. Please submit any words that are ridiculously hard to draw, offensive, misspelled, etc and I will take care of them.

PS: PLEASE do not post words and phrases you have seen in the past, but ONLY words you are now seeing in the game.

Thanks for your help everyone,
PM325

prophylactic is protection measure (such as a condom) I think it's a fine word..

The issue of thunderbolt has been brought up before.. it actually is a word (A thunderbolt is a flash of lightening accompanied by thunder.)

coooool so we're supposed to draw simultaneous sound now? alrighty. i'll go taste some colours while i'm at it. and see some flavours, while i feel some scents.

the point is: thunderbolt is a silly word and is difficult to draw. leave thunder and lightning or lightningbolt in, take thunderbolt out. simple.

Thunderbolt is a very well-known word and I see no problem with it.

What about words such as "music"? Are they impossible to draw because they're sounds? You don't need synaesthesia, just a tiny bit of imagination.

Also... can we not be too hasty in removing words simply for obscurity? There's nothing wrong with learning new things is there? And a lot of words that seem obscure to one person are more relevant to another. An obvious example would be that there are a lot of US-centric words which may not be known to non-Americans, or will at least be harder to draw (specific towns or cities, sports teams, Americanisms etc.). It's not just down to geography but interests as well. Besides, I don't just want to be drawing "cat" all the time, with "dog" becoming the highlight of my day.

If you really don't know what a certain word is may I recommend the following:
