Easy is for kids and quick rounds. Medium adds carols, movies and holiday traditions. Hard is long song titles and the moments everyone recognizes — “re-gifting”, “the tree falling over”.

Ideas for a Christmas charades night

Play a carol round: Medium and Hard have songs like “Jingle Bells” and “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” — act the title, do not hum it.
Kids vs. grown-ups: kids get Easy words, grown-ups play Hard. The phone counts both the same.
Add family words: grandma’s famous dish, last year’s disaster, the dog in a Santa hat.

Draw it instead

Christmas is fun to draw too. Use the Christmas drawing words deck in Draw mode — the phone becomes the sketch pad.
