A word game you play with ChatGPT: you describe, it guesses
The fair way to play a describing game with ChatGPT is to really hide the word from it: in Unsaid the secret word and its 5 forbidden words appear only in your card, and ChatGPT reads only your clues. You give clues of up to 10 words, ChatGPT makes one guess per clue, and your score is how few words it took.

How to play
- Open the game. Tell ChatGPT “Let's play Unsaid”. The card shows today's secret word and its 5 forbidden words, to you only.
- Type a clue in the card. The card checks your clue before ChatGPT sees it and tells you if a forbidden word, in any form, slipped in.
- Send it. A clean clue goes into the chat and ChatGPT makes one guess.
- Score. When it gets the word, your score is the clue words you used. You have 5 clues.
Why plain chat doesn't work
If you ask ChatGPT to think of a word, the word is already in the conversation; if you think of one, nobody checks your clues. Unsaid keeps the word on its server, checks each clue for forbidden words in any form, and checks ChatGPT's guess against the word.
How the options compare
| Unsaid | Plain ChatGPT chat | Taboo (board game) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who describes | You | You or ChatGPT | A teammate |
| Who guesses | ChatGPT | ChatGPT or you | Their team |
| Who the word is hidden from | ChatGPT, kept on a server | Nobody: it's in the chat | The guessing team, on a card |
| Forbidden-word check | Automatic, any form | None | The other team listens |
| Daily word and streak | Yes, the same word for everyone | No | No |
| Players | Just you | Just you | A group |
Taboo is described by its well-known rules; groups play it their own way.

Questions
Does ChatGPT really not see the word?
It doesn't. The word is in none of the results ChatGPT reads; only the card fetches it from our server, with a key ChatGPT doesn't see. It's revealed when the game ends.
Can I play in Turkish?
Yes. Turkish and English each have their own daily word, and a streak each.
Does it cost anything?
No. There are no purchases, subscriptions or ads.
