Terms

Last updated 9 November 2026.

By playing Uncommon you agree to these simple terms. Play fair, keep it kind, and have fun.

The rules

• One player per browser. Extra accounts, bots or scripts used to boost scores or votes are not allowed.
• Keep answers clean. No hateful, sexual or harassing answers. We can remove any answer, and a removed answer never counts or shows again.
• Judge honestly. When judging, ask only: does it fit the category and start with the letter?
• Scores can change. Points depend on how many others gave the same answer and on the judges' votes, so they can change during the day.
• No guarantees. The game is free and provided as is. It may change, pause or stop at any time.

Your answers

You keep ownership of what you write. By submitting an answer you give us permission to show it in the game, judge it, and use it in anonymous score summaries and share cards. Do not submit personal information you do not want other players to see.

Independent game

Uncommon is an independent game. It is not affiliated with Hasbro or the makers of Scattergories. City names come from GeoNames (CC BY 4.0).

Word lists
