That's fun! I made up a word and sent the link to my brother. He got it right on the first guess! Had the biggest laugh in a long time.
Perhaps you could add a "surprise" flag when creating a game that just hides the info panel so that the guessers don't know it was you who picked the word.

Thank you! I thought about this but I think it would blow up the size of the page or make it slow because each guess had to be validated against an API?
It supports multiple languages and the word is encrypted in the URL so it's not so easy to see it right away!
Known Bug: The share button sometimes doesn't work, right clicking or long pressing it to copy the URL manually is a workaround for now.
