How to Play
Sports is a text-based category. The Hinter reads the prompt — a sports term, athlete, team, event, or concept — and describes it to the Guesser using words only. No spelling out letters, no using the prompt word or any forbidden words listed on the card.
Valid Hints
Describe what it is, what it does, who does it, or when it happens. For example, if the prompt is Penalty Kick, you might say: soccer, foul, free shot, goalkeeper. Anything that gets the Guesser to the answer without using the word itself is fair.
Difficulty Levels
Sports prompts are sorted into four difficulty tiers matching the tile values on the board:
| Tile | Difficulty | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| 25pt | Easy | Touchdown, Home Run, Penalty Kick |
| 50pt | Medium | Offside Trap, Triple Double, Grand Slam |
| 75pt | Hard | Pick and Roll, Slap Shot, Birdie |
| 100pt | Expert | Cruyff Turn, Pythagorean Expectation, Libero |
