Charades Word Generator

Draw a random word to act out from several categories (animals, jobs, movies, objects...) to liven up a night with friends or family. An optional timer adds extra spice. Everything runs in your browser, with no server connection.

Example:

How it works

Select the categories that suit your group (family-friendly or adults, movie buffs or general), then click “Draw a word” to get a word or phrase to act out without speaking. The optional timer adds a time constraint to make the game more exciting.

Can a word appear twice in the same game?

No, as long as there are still undrawn words in the selected categories: the tool avoids repeating a word already used during the current game. Once all words are exhausted, the draw restarts from the full set of available words. Click “Reset” to start over.

How do you play in teams?

Form two teams, designate an actor per round who looks at the screen (the other players must not see the word), start the timer, and have your team guess the word before time runs out—without speaking or using objects.
