It would be too hard to click on a guessed word because they scroll by so fast.

This sort of thing should be left up to the players to decide IMO. Who knows what methods will be invented over time at the high level tables.

Agreed on the potential difficulty. Perhaps the drawer should also get an auto-complete box in which he can write the word he liked (auto-completing based on guesses thus far made). Ideally, he could start typing without having to click anywhere.

I have played a bunch of times in instances where users tried to write already-guessed words on the screen and got 'warned off'. I think a stand should be taken, saying 'this is appropriate behavior' and the best way to take that stand as I see it is to implement functionality explicitly for this purpose. The alternative implementations (users pointing arrows to the correct players, users writing the word with the mouse) are clumsy. That said, it does make some sense to let this be up to 'table manners,' but couldn't we implement the functionality and then, if it is against table manners, have the players issue warnings if they do select words?

If it's implemented in the game there would be no question that it's allowed.

Whether it should be allowed is not quite so certain.

I am voting for this because I got the word "Photocopy machine" and about five people guessed variants on the word without me being able to say anything about it - they all guessed "Photocopying".

I think this would be okay as long as you could only point once per drawing. I actually dislike leading people on like in charades or pictionary because it detracts from the actual charade/picture, but the other extreme, what we have now, is not good either.

Agreed on doing it once per round only. Perhaps even instead of a hint.

For your consideration :).
