Split into two teams: red vs blue. Each team will designate an adviser to give clues for the first round.
Each adviser will need their own device (or the two can share one). The advisers will click the "show words" link to reveal the colors of each word. The upper-right-hand corner will show which team's adviser will give the first clue.
NOTE: It is important that no other players can see the adviser's device once the words have been shown.
A clue consists of two parts: a number indicating how many words the adviser intends for their team to guess and a single word. The goal is to get their team to guess only the words that match their team color and avoid the black word at all costs. The clue can only be one word and cannot be a word or a form of a word that is active on the board.
EXAMPLE: Given a board with the words apple, kiwi, and orange, an adviser could give the clue "3, fruit"
Once a clue has been given, the team can discuss which word(s) they are going to choose. Once the team has reached a consensus, they can lock in a word by clicking it. If the word is not their team's color, their turn ends immediately. If a team guesses the black word, they automatically lose. Otherwise they can guess up to the number indicated in the adviser's clue.
NOTE: After their first turn, a team may actually guess one more word in addition to the number indicated by a clue. This is to allow guessing words that might have been missed in previous turns.
ALTERNATE LOCK-IN: If the team does not readily have access to a device, they may verbally lock in their word by saying "Final Answer". The adviser may then click the word to reveal its color to everyone.
Teams will alternate turns giving clues and guessing. The team that guesses all their words first wins. After the first word is guessed, the upper-right-hand corner will indicate how many words are left for each team.
Once there is a winner, pick new advisers and hit "new game" to play again.
