Research notes
I downloaded words_en_v1.0.0.json on 13 October 2026 and counted every entry: 3,692. Grouped by the file’s length key, the busiest sizes are 5 letters (581) and 6 letters (580). I found 526 phrases of two or more words, and no entry that contains a digit. 540 entries start with a capital letter, including names such as ABBA and Among Us.

How the 3,692 entries break down
The community file has 3,166 one-word prompts, 505 two-word prompts, 20 three-word prompts, and one four-word prompt. Its length field n excludes spaces, while punctuation can remain part of the count. Water gun is in the length-8 bucket. These are raw file counts; the default preview's limited English-term filter may hide entries.
The difficulty field d runs from 0 toward 1, with higher values meaning easier in the community estimate. Examples are smile (0.73), spider (0.73), sleep (0.73), Nintendo Switch (0.27), punching bag (0.32), and skateboarder (0.32). This is not an official scoring formula.
- Length 8: 452 raw entries
- Length 9: 379 raw entries; 378 with the default filter
- Length 10: 230 raw entries
- Length 12: 67 raw entries
- Length 13: 35 raw entries
Where this copy comes from
skribbliohints says its original bot-collected list went stale after the 9 November 2022 word expansion, and that in 2025 it switched to a copy of wlauyeung/Skribblio-Word-Bank. The bank is MIT, copyright 2023 Jacky Au Yeung.
Treat the list as a practice and custom-room aid that may differ from the current game. Preview prompts for your group, especially children: the limited filter is not a full age review.
Copy matches gives the comma-separated prompts. Download matches includes the full source license; paste only the prompts section into the game, not the license text.
Questions
Is this the official skribbl.io word list?
The reviewed official pages do not provide a complete word file. This is the community Word Bank, with 3,692 English entries; it may differ from the current game.
Can I paste these into a private room?
Choose at least 10 prompts, each 1–32 characters, separated by commas. The current homepage input allows 20,000 characters; an older client translation says 10,000. Staying below 10,000 is a precaution, not a tested server boundary.
Where do I find other lengths?
Use the length filter on this page. The separate 8, 9, 10, 12, and 13 pages open their corresponding slices.
