Interesting, but in the first example I would be worried that Wok would be misheard as "walk", which might entice people to pick the instant fail card of "fall"

Interesting, but in the first example I would be worried that Wok would be misheard as "walk", which might entice people to pick the instant fail card of "fall". That's a meta-level of the game (which I've played with friends and family) that you have to be aware of, and sometimes you can use to your advantage. Because of that, using a program that can perfectly disambiguate between the word and associations will probably lead to some non-intuitive results sometimes.
- patricktomas 7y agoYou can spell the word out instead of pronouncing it if you'd like. Your teammates can ask you to spell it out too.
- foota 7y agoI believe making use of two meanings of a word through homonyms like wok and walk or night and Knight is technically against the rules.
- reificator 7y agoIt's not against the rules for players to mishear. There are rules against punning but that's not what the post you're replying to was talking about. Using a homonym is fair game. Intending that homonym to have two meanings when you give the clue is not.
- SolarNet 7y agoThe game specifically does not have this problem. It is in the rules that the word is allowed to be spelled out. And in point of fact, using puns or sound alike words is forbidden.
