Frequently asked questions
Do we need a dictionary or a moderator?
No. AI supplies the word, its reading, and the real definition, so nobody needs to prepare a dictionary or sit out as the moderator.
Can I play if I do not know the word?
Yes. The game deliberately uses unusual words that most players will not know. Inventing a plausible definition and spotting the real one are the heart of the game.
What if I am not confident about writing?
A short definition is enough. You can also use AI to polish your own draft into more dictionary-like wording.
