Strategies:

Consider where the other players are from (different continents). Skipping if you are unsure uses up 1 card, however guessing incorrectly uses 2.

There are 4 types of good clues:

1. Synonyms
2. Reference
3. Creative, unusual usage or reference
4. Phrases that end with the target word (but not necessarily ones that begin with it)

Some clues are there to disambiguate use them wisely.

Less common clues are:

1. Related words (not the best clues)
2. Meta-word telling what type of word the mystery word is.

When trying to guess one can identify the category and try to guess like that.

If playing with 4 or less, you will get 2 words. You have the option of playing the game as "JUST TWO". So if the word is MEATBALL, your 2 words could be SPAGHETTI - AND. (However if someone else gets equally creative, that can DUPLICATE a word.) Also if using 2 individual words, make sure they don't sound like a 2 word combo. Let's say the word was TIDE... You could put WHITE WASH. but that might be confusing vs. WASH - WHITE...
