    How to play Fictionary

    1. Write a bluff. Each day we pick a rare, real dictionary word. Sign in and invent a fake definition that sounds convincing enough to fool other players.
    2. Vote the next day. All the player bluffs are shuffled together with the genuine dictionary definition. Vote for the one you believe is real.
    3. Score points. Spot the real definition for 2 points, and earn 1 point for every player your bluff fools. The weekly Best Bluffers leaderboard crowns the top scorers.

    Fictionary is the classic dictionary bluffing party game — sometimes known as Balderdash or "the dictionary game" — reimagined as a free daily online word game. It's a fun way to discover obscure English words, stretch your vocabulary, and outwit your friends. New rounds open every day, so there's always a fresh word to bluff about.
