9-letter words in skribbl.io
The MIT English Word Bank has 379 prompts whose length key is 9. Spaces are not counted, so a two-word phrase can still land in this bucket.
Research notes
I filtered words_en_v1.0.0.json on 13 October 2026 and counted 379 rows with length 9. I used that filter on this page so the table opens on those rows instead of the full 3,692.

Using the 9-letter list in a room
Actual examples include tarantula, chemistry, translate, orchestra, conductor, and milkshake. These are community-file prompts, not a certified current official pool. Use at least ten entries within the published 32-character custom-word rule.
Counts use the source field n, which excludes spaces but can include punctuation. Equal source counts do not guarantee identical in-game blank patterns, especially across word modes.
Raw count and filtered preview
The raw length-9 bucket has 379 entries. The existing default filter hides one, leaving 378 before any search or difficulty restriction. That difference is a preview setting, not a missing source row. The limited filter is not an age-rating system.
Copy matches supplies prompts. Downloads include the MIT license; paste only their prompts section. No published scoring formula reviewed here establishes a points bonus for length-9 prompts.
Questions
How many 9-letter skribbl.io words are there?
The checked English community file has 379 entries under n=9, or 378 with the default filter. These are sample counts, not the current official pool size.
Do spaces and punctuation count?
The source n field excludes spaces; punctuation can remain part of its count. The 32-character custom-input rule is a separate limit on the full prompt.
