Question

In Pictionary can you break a word? eg. for "mumps" "Mom" and "ups"?

Answer 1

Though I think that breaking 'mumps' into 'mom' and 'ups' is a bit confusing, that is perfectly legal in the game.

(assuming that you are trying to draw out 'mom' and 'ups' instead of writing them...)

Answer 2

Yes, you can do that in Pictionary.  We do that sort of thing all the time when we play.

Answer 3

I dont see why not. What ever it takes to get them to say the word.
