About Sneakyword

Free party games for one phone, made and run by Rai Ansar.

Who makes Sneakyword

I'm Rai Ansar, a developer and DevOps engineer since May 2019. I build and run Sneakyword myself. I wanted the classic pass-the-phone games to open in a second, work on any phone and skip the sign-up screens, so I built them as plain web pages.

Each page arrives as finished HTML with its whole question or word list in it, and the game runs in your browser. Apart from sending the pages, the server counts votes, stores launch-notice sign-ups and makes the preview picture for a shared result. An automated test checks every page and game screen for accessibility problems at phone and laptop widths, and plays several of the games with the keyboard alone.

What each game is for

How the questions are written

Every question, pair, statement and word on the site was written for Sneakyword. Before a new list page goes live, a script compares its items with every other page on the site, and the page is held back if more than 5 percent of its items repeat or closely match items elsewhere. That way a new list brings new questions instead of the old ones in a new order.

The lists sit in the page itself as well as inside the game, so you can read them out, print them or search them with your browser's find tool. The Kids deck is written for ages 5 and up and the Adults deck stays at PG-13. Never Have I Ever is family-safe by default; its grown-up statements load only after you switch them on and never appear in the page text. The Spanish word packs are written in neutral Spanish, so players in Spain and in Latin America know the words.

Once a question is live it is never reordered or deleted, because each vote total belongs to one question. New questions go at the end of a deck.

How trivia answers are checked

Each trivia answer was checked against a page from a named publication or institution on October 15, 2026. When sources disagreed, the question was dropped or reworded to match one named source. Each trivia page lists the publications it used, and every answer is printed under its question, so a host can read through them before the game.

Where the vote numbers come from

Would You Rather and This or That show what other players picked. Those percentages are real totals of picks made on this site, and nothing is seeded or estimated. Until a question or pair has 25 votes, the result says how many votes it has so far, so you know the numbers will still move. The site keeps the two totals for each question and nothing about who voted.
