We playtested various rules. Some groups like the rules one way. Some like the rules another way.

You should experiment to find out what your group likes.

Some clues are invalid because they violate the

spirit of the game.

Your clue must be about the meaning of the

words. You can't use your clue to talk about

the letters in a word or its position on the table.

Gland

is not a valid clue for ENGLAND. You

can't tie BUG, BED, and BOW together with

a clue like

b: 3

nor with a clue like

three: 3

However …

Letters and numbers are valid clues, as long

as they refer to meanings. You can use

X: 1

a clue for RAY. You can use

eight: 3

as a clue

for BALL, FIGURE, and OCTOPUS.

The number you say after your clue can't be

used as a clue.

Citrus: 8

is not a valid clue for

LEMON and OCTOPUS.

You must play in English. A foreign word is

allowed only if the players in your group would

use it in an English sentence. For example,

you can't use

Apfel

as a clue for APPLE and

BERLIN, but you can use

strudel

You can't say any form of a visible word

on the table. Until BREAK is covered up by

a card, you can't say

break

broken

breakage

breakdown

You can't say part of a compound word on the

table. Until HORSESHOE is covered up, you

can't say

horse

shoe

unhorsed

, or

snowshoe

England and island were originally compound words, but in this century,

island

is a valid clue for

ENGLAND. Even

land

is a valid clue for ENGLAND. And anybody who says you can't say

sparrow

when

ROW is on the table is just trying to cause trouble.

If the opposing spymaster allows it, the clue is valid. If you aren't sure, ask your opponent. (Quietly,

so the others can't hear.)

English has many homonyms and homo-

phones. E. g.

night

sounds like

knight

, but

these two words don't mean the same thing.

Same-sounding words with different

meanings and different spellings are

considered different words. So you can't give

knight

-related clues for NIGHT.

Words that are spelled the same are

considered the same even though they might

have different pronunciations and meanings.

For example, actors take a bow and the bow is

part of a ship, so you could use

bow

as a clue

for THEATER and SHIP. You could also use it as

a clue for archery-related things, even though

that

bow

is pronounced differently.

You are allowed to spell out your clue. For

example, if you want your teammates to guess

THEATER and STRING, you can spell out

b-o-w

without committing to a pronunciation. You can

give the clue

k-n-i-g-h-t

even when NIGHT is

one of the codenames on the table. (But you

can't use

t-h-e-a-t-r-e

when THEATER is on

the table.

Theatre

and

theater

are different

forms of the same word.)

You should spell out your clue if someone

asks. If you aren't that strong on spelling, ask

the opposing spymaster for help.

Tip: Spelling is not just for homonyms. It's also

useful when the room is noisy or when the

players have very different accents.
