How to play Parafraze.gg

  1. 01
    Join a team. Join a room and pick a team. The host chooses the rules and starts the game.
  2. 02
    Take turns giving clues. Teams alternate turns. One player becomes the clue-giver while their teammates guess.
  3. 03
    Describe anything on the board. The clue-giver can describe the available words in any order, skip difficult ones, and return to them later.
  4. 04
    Don’t give away the spelling. Never say part of the answer, spell it, give its initials, or use “rhymes with.”
  5. 05
    Teammates type their guesses. Exact answers earn full points and close spellings earn partial points set by the host. Capitalization, accents, spaces, and punctuation are optional.
  6. 06
    Review, then switch teams. The host can correct each recap. Then it’s the next clue-giver’s turn. Keep going until the match ends.
Game modes and scoring

Standard: everyone takes a turn giving clues. Single Team Mode puts everyone together to compete for individual points.

Point Race: reach the target after both teams have had equal turns. Survival: meet the solve goal to keep your lives. Knockout: the lower-scoring team loses a life after each matched round.

Everybody Scores: each player can solve every word. Earlier solves have a larger share of the points. The host sets partial-credit and bonus values in Game Setup.

What’s new

Revisit your Daily clues

  • Expand a Daily answer to read its full clue as a compact quote above the common wrong guesses, with green words showing how far you got.
  • Your first clue replay starts a second before you stopped. Play again to hear it from the beginning.

Choose your card order

  • Customize the Word Bank spread by dragging dividers—for example, 15 Easy, 3 Medium, and 2 Hard. Even spread stays one click away.
  • Hosts can set Sorting Cards in Advanced Settings: points low to high, points high to low, By Word List, or Random. Low to high stays the default.

More room to play, more ways to match

  • Redesigned the layout to be more compact.
  • Hosts can drop players anywhere on the Spectators card. Headings are simpler throughout the game and account pages.
  • Hosts can choose six Fuzzy match levels in Advanced Settings, from Loosest to exact-only Off. Standard keeps the familiar spelling forgiveness.

Easier to play on your phone

  • The timer and answer box now come before the optional word board. New phone players start with the board collapsed.
  • Ready is easier to find in the lobby, with a short rules summary for guests.
  • Larger settings and supporter text, clearer membership choices, and easier navigation around your account and policies.

Meet the Daily clue writers

  • Guest-written Daily games can now credit their clue writers before you play.

Daily links and room notices

  • Shared Daily results now include a clean, short link to that day's game.
  • Rooms now get a one-minute heads-up before planned restarts. Keep playing until the brief reconnect; your progress is saved.
  • Improved Discord Activity reconnection after restarts.
  • Red “Reconnecting” and green “Reconnected” notices show your connection status.

More to explore after Daily

  • Read the full Daily clue and replay its audio before pressing Next. Green words show how far you got before answering.
  • Expand an answer in Daily results to see common wrong guesses. Guesses you tried are highlighted.
  • Clue replay now uses one small animated play/pause button right after the clue text.
