Hi. It's me. The Oatmeal guy.

I coded a word-guessing game.

Here’s how it works:
- Every day for the next month, I’m going to upload a word. Your job is to guess what it is.

- You can ask for clues, but they cost points. Try to use as few of them as possible.

- After thirty days, the game will end.

- The game starts right now. Share your scores in the comments.

P.S. I recommend starting with the “visual clue.” It’s usually a funny drawing.
