Pictionary is an exciting game for the whole family, perfect for any occasion where you are looking for a fun, engaging activity to do with your family and friends — even kids can play! It’s a classic game, which has been played for years and years. And it’s a very inclusive game, as anyone can join in and play, no matter what their age or level of skill.
With Pictionary, you get to develop your drawing skills and challenge yourself, while also having a great time with your family and friends. You’ll be laughing and having fun for hours while playing this amazing game.
How to Play Pictionary
While it is recommended to use the official boxed game to get the best Pictionary experience, the truth is: you can set up a game of Pictionary just as easily with some basic materials you might have within reach!
Number of Players: 4+
Setup
- Paper
- Pencils
- Timer
- Dice
- Notecards
Choosing Pictionary words
- Pick at least five different categories (ex: animals, celebrities, landmarks, actions)
- On each card, write down words from the categories chosen.
- Sort each into their matching category, then shuffle.
- Assign each category a corresponding number when the dice is rolled.
- Set out the remaining materials.
How to Play
- Split everyone into teams or two or more (everyone playing solo is also an option). Everyone rolls the dice to see who goes first.
- Designate someone as the ‘judge’; they will hand out the cards and keep track of the time.
- Whoever starts rolls the die and is given a card corresponding to the category. They may start drawing at the judge’s cue.
- The player has 60 seconds to draw, and everyone else must guess what is being drawn within those 60 seconds too.
- Whoever is drawing cannot talk, make noises/gestures, and cannot draw letters/numbers.
- Whoever guesses correctly scores a point and can attempt to guess the next word being drawn out. If they are incorrect, the turn passes to the next player for them to attempt to guess.
- The game ends based on whatever conditions determine a winner(ex: first team/player to ‘x’ number of points)
Playing Pictionary / Draw It Online
Another great way to get drawing without any supplies is through Draw It. It’s a free version of Pictionary that’s online at Brightful Meeting Games. It’s the easiest way to play a drawing game, and while the list of Pictionary words below may be useful if you are playing in person, Draw It allows you to connect easily with friends and family from across the world. The aim of the game is similar to Pictionary, one player draws a word and the rest try to guess it. The earlier the word has been guessed, the more points are scored for the guesser and the drawer! It takes the guesswork out of scorekeeping, so you can focus on the fun parts of the game.
We’ve included over 350 fun Pictionary words in an easy to use list. The list is divided by difficulty, so you can always keep it fair and even. Here’s our list of super fun Pictionary words sorted by difficulty. There’s Easy, Medium and Hard difficulties. These are perfect for you to decide depending on your level of skill. If you’re playing Pictionary with Kids, you’ll find a section at the bottom with some bonus Pictionary Words for Kids!

Gameplay Variations
Once you get used to the flow of how to play Pictionary, you may be keen to explore other ways to play or add some new game conditions to keep things interesting, by making gameplay a little more difficult.
Below are some ideas of how you can change up your next Pictionary game: either to make it your own, offer a more challenging experience for players, or just to experiment with another way to play Pictionary!
- Remove the use of dice; have random cards drawn at each turn
- Assign different point values for easy, medium, and hard words (harder the word, the more points it’s worth)
- Allow opposing teams/players to attempt to guess what the word being drawn is; either all at the same time or when time runs out
- Reduce/increase the time allocated for the artist to draw out the word and for other players to guess.

Outtakes of Funny English Words
Following a query from Moray, further research by Will indicates these
statements may not tell the whole truth.
- French fries do not originate in France.
Fries may well have originated in 19th century France. However, as with
so many «inventions» / «discoveries» others make claims as well. Belgium has
been mentioned in this regard. Between the wars the Americans began to eat
fried potato and for some reason referred to them as French fries.
Will the truth ever be known?
- English muffins weren’t
invented in England.
As for English muffins: it appears that in the USA muffins are known as
‘English’ muffins. Incidentally, Guy wonders if this naming phenomenon is
more widespread, because in Wales we have what English speakers call ‘Welsh
cakes’, but indigenous old-timer call them ‘Round cakes’.
Back to the English muffins, I refer you to this excerpt from Wikipedia:
An old English nursery rhyme, «The Muffin Man», describes a door-to-door
purveyor of muffins. The rhyme was known at the time of Jane Austen in the
early 19th century, and a muffin man is mentioned at one point in her novel
Persuasion. The muffins sold at this period were made of yeasted dough and
baked on a hot griddle.
The etymology of the name is from moofin first used in 1703, derived from
the Low German Muffen, the plural of Muffe meaning a small cake, or possibly
with some connection to the Old French moufflet meaning soft as said of
bread.
Muffins may well originate as far back as the 10th century, yet
the muffin became a fashionable bread during the 18th century. By the
beginning of the 19th century, there were dozens of muffin factories in
existence, and the «muffin man» was a common sight.
Muffins are a quick-baking bread and have become a tea-table staple. They
are usually split, toasted, buttered and then eaten with a savoury or sweet
topping such as honey.
Spell Checker
Eye halve a spelling chequer. It came with my pea sea (PC). It
plainly marques four my revue miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word and weight four it two say weather eye

Words To Slip Into Conversation
It’s
not that these English words are funny, its just that Will and I challenge you to include them in your repertoire and slip them into conversation.
- Imbue: to dye; to instill profoundly.
- Spoony: foolishly or sentimentally in love.
- Visage: the face; also, appearance; aspect.
- Sapient: wise; sage; discerning.
- Quiddity: the essence or nature of a thing.

- Sine qua non: an
indispensable thing. - Sesquipedalian: (of words) long; having many syllables.
- Predilection: an established preference.
- Grandee: a man of elevated rank or station; a nobleman.
For example:
It’s
the quiddity of grandees that they have a predilection to imbue sesquipedalian words.
We bet that you can do even better.
Misnomers
The examples of ‘Misnomers’
were reported in The Guardian newspaper in February 2006. Will and Guy
find this collection of quirky phrases both informative and amusing:
- Arabic numerals originated in India.

Austria. - Dry cleaning uses a fluid called naphtha.
- Pencil lead — pencils use graphite and not lead.

- The Peanut is a legume, [i.e.
fruit/vegetable] not a nut. - The People’s
Democratic
Republic of Korea. [Think about it; particularly if you live there] - Madison Square Garden, USA is not square, nor is it currently a garden.Madison Square was the location of the original Madison Square
Gardens. The first one opened in 1879 in a former hippodrome
located at the northeast corner of Madison Avenue and 26th street. The
second Madison Square Garden, replacing the first one in 1889, featured
a concert hall, theater and roof garden. The building had a prominent
tower built after the Giralda tower in Sevilla, topped by a nude statue
of the goddess Diana
English Is A Funny Language Says Expert
More Quirky English Words
Approximately 100 quirky words mark English people out from the rest of
the English-speaking world have been detailed in a new book: «Jolly Wicked
Actually: The 100 Words That Make Us English, by Tony Thorne, a language
expert and consultant at King’s College London, details the words that have
become synonymous with the modern English language. The book details some of
the best known slang words used in the English language and speculates where
they could have derived from, including «fab», one of the few 1960s words
meaning trendy; «fusspot», meaning «anxiety» first used 300 years ago; and
«naff», which possibly derives from *NAAFI, the Navy, Army and Air Force
Institutes.
* The Navy, Army & Air Force Institutes (NAAFI) was established in 1921
and serves those who serve in the British Armed forces and their families.

This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other
two-letter word, and that word is UP.’ It is
listed in the dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].
It’s easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the
list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP, and why are
the officers UP for election (if there is a tie, it is a toss UP) and why is
it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends,
brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, warm UP the leftovers and clean UP
the kitchen. We lock UP the house and fix UP the old car.
At other times, this little word has real special meaning. People stir UP
trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.
And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is blocked
UP.
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to
be pretty mixed UP about UP!
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UP the word UP in
the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the
page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP
is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don’t give UP, you
may wind UP with UP to a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes
out, we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, the earth soaks it UP. When it
does not rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I’ll
wrap it UP, for now. My time is UP!
Oh, one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning and the
last thing you do at night?
!
Did that one crack you UP?
Don’t screw UP. Send this on to everyone you look UP in your address
book. Or not; it’s UP to you.
Now I’ll shut UP!
What’s In The Meaning
Will and Guy Think:
- If lawyers are disbarred, and clergymen defrocked, does it not
follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys
deranged , models deposed, or drycleaners depressed? - Laundry workers could decrease, eventually becoming depressed and
depleted. - Even more, bed makers could be debunked, baseball players debased,
landscapers deflowered, software engineers detested, underwear
manufacturers debriefed, and even musical composers will eventually
decompose.
On a different note though, perhaps we can hope that some politicians
will be devoted.

Funny English words
The English language is pretty wild. And by that, we mean that it contains some wacky words that seem too weird to be real, yet absolutely are. So if you appreciate a varied vocabulary and would like to embrace a wider range of words, then you’re in luck! We can help you bumfuzzle your friends with the funniest words that are undeniably fanty-sheeny and will leave you in a finifugal mood. If you don’t believe us—or have any clue what that means—then take a peek below to learn about the funniest words in the English language and how to use them.
1. Brouhaha
If you tweet something divisive the generates a lot of conversation, you might say that you started a bit of a brouhaha. That’s a way better word for it than «commotion» or «uproar.»
Example: «Her speech started a brouhaha on all the 24-hour news channels.»
2. Pettifogger
You’ve seen them in movies and on local commercials: lawyers who are willing to do anything to score a client or get a win. In other words, pettifoggers.
Example: «The prosecution’s pettifogger called some pretty shady witnesses.»
3. Sozzled
Hammered. Wrecked. Drunk. Forget all those boring words for being intoxicated—»sozzled» makes it sound almost sophisticated.
Example: «Don’t let him order another drink, he’s already sozzled.»
4. Wassail
If you enjoy warmed, spiced wine, you can get sozzled on wassail.
Example:
5. Inkle
Okay, so maybe this one only comes up in conversation if you’re a weaver, but it’s still a funny word. According to Merriam-Webster, an inkle is «a colored linen tape or braid woven on a very narrow loom and used for trimming.»
Example: «My inkle won’t stay in place!»
6. Mollycoddle
Have a lot of siblings? Your parents probably mollycoddle the youngest, meaning that they baby and indulge them, no matter what they do.
Example: «Stop mollycoddling her, she’s a grown woman!»
7. Skirl
If you travel to Scotland (or go to a Scottish pride event), you’ll almost certainly hear someone skirl, i.e. play the bagpipes.
Example: «Let’s get closer, the bagpipers are about to start skirling.»
8. Hoosegow
A wild night out could land you in the hoosegow for breaking the law. It’s just a funny word for jail!
Example: «Come on, we’ve gotta bail him out of the hoosegow.»
9. Rigmarole
Try to do anything with a government agency and it’ll be a lot of rigmarole. That can either mean a lot of circular discussion or just a generally tedious ordeal.
Example: «Let’s get the rigmarole of the paperwork taken care of.»
10. Impignorate
Despite the reputation of the animal within this word, impignorate actually means to pawn off or mortgage something in your possession.
Example: «I’m going to impignorate this watch for some extra cash.»
11. Bumfuzzle
We all find ourselves confused and flustered from time to time, perhaps even to the point where we might describe ourselves as perplexed. But if those words don’t quite capture your bewildered state of mind, then you may want to use the term bumfuzzle.
Example: «That movie was bumfuzzling and left me, well, bumfuzzled.»
12. Winklepicker
While a winklepicker sounds like it should refer to someone who picks winkles (whatever those might be), a winklepicker is, in fact, a shoe or boot that features a sharp-pointed toe.
Example: «I’ve been looking for the perfect winklepicker to go with these pants.»
13. Hullaballoo
A perfect example of a word that sounds like its meaning, hullaballoo refers to a ruckus or uproar that’s on the unpleasant side.
Example: «The hullaballoo was totally wild.»
14. Argle-bargle
Blah, blah, blah, some people like to drone on for as long as others are willing to listen and there are those particular kinds of mind-numbing conversations that never seem to end. Meaningless arguments and worthless chatter—whether done by talking or writing—is called argle-bargle.
Example: «This is just a bunch of pointless argle-bargle.»
15. Doodlesack
Scottish musicians are well-known for their skill with the bagpipes, but they’re not as famous for their talents with the doodlesack. And that’s kind of funny considering this funniest word is just another word for bagpipes.
Example: «What songs do you like to play on a doodlesack?»
16. Gobbledygook
Slang is one thing, but people who indulge in gobbledygook are a lot like turkeys who also gobble, gobble, gobble, or use language that is basically incomprehensible.
Example: «He sure likes to go on and on with the gobbledygook.»
17. Eeksie-peeksie
If you like everything in your world to be perfectly balanced or appreciate even numbers and identical amounts, then you like things to be eeksie-peeksie, which is a term for equal.
Example: «I think it should be eeksie-peeksie for each of us.»
18. Nudiustertian
No one would blame you for thinking that nudiusterian had something to do with being naked, perhaps representing a cheeky lifestyle that rejects clothes. But the word has nothing to do with showing off your body. Instead, it refers to the day before yesterday.
Example: «I went to work on that nudiustertian morning.
19. Gardyloo
Although we no longer toss garbage out of the windows the way people did years ago, it’s still helpful to know that if you hear someone shout «gardyloo» then you better watch out for flying trash, since that’s the appropriate warning to use.
Example: «Gardyloo and watch out!»
20. Tittynope
This is another word that might make you blush until you find out its perfectly innocent meaning. Tittynope is what you call a small amount of something that’s simply leftover.
Example: «There’s a tittynope of sugar in the bowl.»
21. Lackadaisical
If you know someone who’s rather lazy and fails to show any sort of enthusiasm or ambition, then they’re lackadaisical. It’s probably one of the funniest words because of all those syllables.
Example: «My coworker never gets his work done because he’s lackadaisical.»
22. Snickersnee
Snickersnee is certainly a funny word, but the item behind its meaning is no joke. The term refers to a large (and obviously super sharp) knife.
Example: «That’s not a snickersnee. This is a snickersnee.»
23. Flibbertigibbet
Some people are unreliable and don’t seem to be bothered by their own silly vibe. And while we generally accept that they’re the flighty ones among us, you could also call that certain someone a flibbertigibbet.
Example: «My flibbertigibbet friend failed to show up again.»
24. Fanty-sheeny
If you like the finer things in life—and to show them off—then you appreciate anything that’s fanty-sheeny, which is a word that can be used for someone or something that’s fancy or even ostentatious.
Example: «Her house was filled with fanty-sheeny furniture.»
25. Cattywampus
If something is askew, awry, or lined up in a way that’s not totally straight, such as diagonally—basically, slightly off-center or not quite right—then it’s not just annoying, you could say it’s cattywampus.
Example: «The books on the desk are all cattywampus.»

26. Woebegone
If you know that «woe» is a word for sadness, then it might seem like woebegone is a term for wanting sadness to go away. But since «begone» is actually an old word for being within something, it turns out that woebegone is actually one of the funniest words for being in a sad state.
Example: «He was left woebegone, but hopeful.»
27. Taradiddle
It may seem like pretentious nonsense to use as silly of a word as taradiddle to describe, well, pretentious nonsense, but it would certainly suitable since that’s exactly what taradiddle means.
Example: «His stories are more taradiddle than truth.»
28. Maltipoo
The next time you’re thinking about getting a new pet, perhaps you’ll consider a Maltipoo, which is a cross-breed originating from a Maltese terrier and a miniature or toy poodle. Otherwise, you could also consider a Puggle (a pug and beagle mix) or a Dorgi (a dachshund and corgi cross).
Example: «I just adopted the cutest Maltipoo puppy.»
29. Wabbit
Cartoon character Elmer Fudd was famous for calling Bugs Bunny a «wascally wabbit,» which we assumed was because of his particular way of speaking. But perhaps he was actually using the word wabbit, which means weary or exhausted.
Example: «You wabbit rabbit.»
30. Borborygmus
When your insides make a little noise, you can accurately call that borborygmus. That’s the word for the noisy rumbling and gurgling that comes from your midsection. It’s caused by fluids or gas moving in your intestines.
Example: «Can you hear my belly borborygmus?»
31. Funambulism
If you’re looking for a new pastime and prefer extreme endeavors, you could take up skydiving or white water rafting. But you might want to try funambulism instead, which is another way to say tightrope walking.
Example: «I always thought funambulism looked fun—but I’m afraid of heights, so no thanks.»
32. Widdershins
Counterclockwise is rather fun to say, but take things up a notch wonky word-wise when referring to which way you’re heading by saying that your walking widdershins, which is another word for counterclockwise.
Example: «I took a path widdershins through the forest.»
33. Collywobbles
If you’re experiencing stomach pain or queasiness, whether it’s due to illness or anxiety, then you’re feeling collywobbles, a term for that icky feeling.
Example: «I have some collywobbles happening in my tummy.»
34. Quomodocunquizing
While the word looks rather complicated, it’s meaning is simple. Quomodocunquizing is a way to describe something (or someone) who makes money in any way possible.
Example: «He’s a quomodocunquizing businessperson.»
35. Diphthong
When you combine two vowel sounds together in one word to create something a little different, then you’re using a diphthong.
Example: «The sound ‘oy’ in boy or toy is a diphthong. So is the ‘ou’ in you or loud.»
36. Bloviate
If you were given the task of coming up with a word to describe a person who likes to ramble on, then you might opt for something like bloviate, which is the perfect term for your local windbag.
Example: «That guy couldn’t resist bloviating at the party.»
37. Gubbins
While gibbons are the adorable primates that spend their days swinging through the rain forest, gubbins is something totally different. Instead of being cute creatures, they’re miscellaneous bits and pieces or gadgets.
Example: «The drawer is filled with random gubbins.»
38. Blatherskite
There are plenty of terms for people who like to use words to their full extent (or perhaps even overuse language), which is why we also have blatherskite to describe the kind of person who can’t self-edit and cares more about making noise than making sense.
Example: «My ex is a boring blatherskite.»
39. Snollygoster
Any time you cross paths with someone who’s a snollygoster, then it’s time to head in the other direction. Although they may be a person who’s shrewd, they’re also more likely to be the villain than the hero, which means you’ll want to be wary.
Example: «My nemesis is a snollygoster.»
40. Finifugal
Finifugal is not only a fear of finishing things, it’s also the term you can put into use any time you get the desire to prolong a final moment or prevent a seemingly inevitable ending.
Example: «I have a finifugal vibe towards this funniest words article I’m reading on Best Life.
