Name the doodle before it’s finished.
Play Sketchling — free, in your browser
A drawing game you can play alone in ten seconds or with friends all evening. Solo, a real doodle appears stroke by stroke and you race to name it before it is finished: the earlier you type the answer, the more it is worth, and naming them in a row builds a combo up to double points. The Daily Sketch is ten doodles, the same for everyone each day, with a daily leaderboard and a streak; Endless keeps them coming faster and harder until you miss three. With friends, start a private room, share the five-letter code, and take turns drawing a secret word while everyone else races to guess it — no accounts, no downloads, 2 to 8 players, and with two it plays as a co-op.
Solo: a doodle appears one stroke at a time, exactly in the order a real person drew it. Type what it is and press Enter. You can guess as often as you like — wrong guesses cost nothing, and a near miss tells you so.
Points depend on how much of the drawing was on the page when you named it: 500 for naming it at a blank-ish sheet, falling to 100 as the last stroke goes down. After that the doodle stays up for a last look, with a letter of the answer shown; a name then is worth 100 falling to 25.
Naming doodles in a row builds a combo: ×1.1 for the second, ×1.2 for the third, up to ×2. A miss or a Skip resets it — which is what makes an early guess a real decision.
The Daily Sketch is ten doodles, the same for every player, from easy to hard. It rolls over at midnight UTC; you get one ranked go a day, and a refresh or a closed tab resumes it at the same doodle and the same moment. Name all ten for a 250-point clean-sheet bonus.
Endless keeps going until you miss three. Every five doodles the level goes up: they draw faster and the categories get harder. Name ten in a row and you win a life back.
Your rank — Doodler, Sketcher, Illustrator, Artist, Master — is how early you typically name a doodle: the median of your last forty. Every doodle you name goes into your sketchbook, and there are badges to earn, a few of them secret.
With friends: start a room and share the five-letter code or invite link. Each turn one player picks a word and draws it while everyone else types guesses; faster guesses score more, and the artist scores when the room gets it. A letter of the word is given away at half time and another at three quarters. The turn rotates, the podium crowns the winner, and anyone can start the rematch.
Sketchling is a free drawing guessing game that runs in your browser, and you can play it alone or with friends.

With friends, you start a private room and take turns drawing a secret word while everyone else races to guess it.
Yes. Open the game and press Play — no name, no account, no room. The Daily Sketch is ten doodles that are the same for everyone that day, and Endless keeps the doodles coming, faster and harder, until you miss three. You only need other people for the draw-and-guess rooms.
They are real drawings made by people playing Google’s Quick, Draw!, from the dataset Google published under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. Sketchling uses around three thousand of them across 253 everyday things, replays each one in the stroke order its artist drew it, and every drawing in the set was looked at by hand before it shipped.
By how much of the doodle was on the page when you named it. A name at a nearly blank sheet is worth 500 points, falling to 100 as the last stroke goes down; after that there is a short last look, with a letter of the answer shown, worth 100 down to 25. Naming doodles in a row multiplies the points — up to double on a streak of eleven — and a miss resets the streak. Wrong guesses cost nothing.
Ten doodles, the same ten for every player in the world, running from easy to hard and changing at midnight UTC. You get one ranked go a day on the daily leaderboard, a streak for playing on consecutive days, and a spoiler-free emoji result to share. If you refresh or close the tab mid-way, it resumes at the same doodle at the same moment.
Yes, Sketchling is completely free to play in your browser. No download, no account, no signup — solo or in a room.
Yes — the rooms are the same draw-and-guess party formula as skribbl.io, with two differences: rooms are always private (only people with your five-letter code can join, so no strangers), and there are no accounts or ads. Share the invite link in a group chat and you can be playing in under a minute. Unlike skribbl.io, there is also something to play when nobody else is around.
A room takes 2 to 8 players. With three or more it plays as a competitive party game with a podium at the end, naming the fastest guess and the best artist. With exactly two players it switches to co-op — you score together or not at all. Anyone in the room can start the rematch.
Yes. Solo is built for a phone — type on the on-screen keyboard and tap the sheet for the next doodle, in portrait or landscape. In rooms you draw with your finger, every drawing tool fits on screen, and phone and desktop players share the same room.
