Words for Alias — ready-made sets by theme

Six sets you can use as they are: paste one into a custom word set, or just read from the screen if you are playing around a table. Each is built for a particular crowd and mood — from plain nouns a five-year-old knows to abstractions that stump adults.

How to use them

Create a game, pick "Your own word set" in the settings and paste the list from any page here. The field cleans itself up — extra spaces, punctuation and duplicates are stripped — so the format does not matter. Commas, one per line, or a mess of both all work.

Which set to pick

For a mixed crowd take the simple or the food set: almost nobody draws a word they do not know. Hard and funny sets shine once everyone has warmed up — more failed rounds, but far more laughing. Themed sets like film or professions give the evening a shape.

Three levels in every set

Each set is split into three lists of a hundred words. A hundred is exactly what a custom set holds in the game, so any list can be pasted whole and is ready to play.

Familiar words that land on the first clue. For warming up, for kids and for mixed groups.

Takes a few sentences and some imagination. The default setting for an ordinary evening.

Rare or abstract words. More failed rounds, and more laughing at them.
