## What is HankyDoodle?

HankyDoodle is a drawing and word-guessing game where you and your friends take turns sketching a word and guessing what the other person drew.

Every drawing is replayable. Watch your friend's brushstrokes appear in real time, share the replay as a video, or save the finished art to your photo library.

GAME MODES

- Word of the Day: a fresh word every 24 hours. Draw it your way and see how others interpreted the same prompt.
- Play with friends: send drawings back and forth, take your turn whenever you want, no live-game timer pressure.
- Random opponents: get matched with another HankyDoodle player and play one round at a time.
- Free draw: skip the games entirely and just draw. Save it, share it, or post it to the Showcase.

DRAWING TOOLS

Every tool, every color, all the time. No paywalls on drawing tools. An optional Premium subscription removes the banner ad and adds 32 superlikes a year, but it never gates a brush, a color, or a feature.

- Pencil with adjustable thickness
- Spray paint
- Line, rectangle, and ellipse shape tools
- Smart flood fill that handles imperfect closures
- Eraser, undo, and redo
- Full color picker

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2026.250 — 2026-09-08

DOODLEPEDIA

+ Pull down to refresh a category and your newest drawings show up right away.

+ Your collection keeps itself up to date, updating the moment you make a
  drawing public or private, and it loads more reliably.

+ Plus a handful of behind-the-scenes fixes to keep things smooth.

### 2026.192 — 2026-09-05

DRAWING

+ Fills are more precise and no longer bleed into nearby colours.

FAMILY MODE

+ One switch, kept where a grown-up put it with a PIN: grown-up prompts stay
  out of the word suggestions, new gallery drawings are held back for a day
  so anything reported never reaches them, and random opponents are off.

WORD OF THE DAY

+ Draw the word five days running and earn a superlike.

REACTIONS

+ A like that has aged out can still be upgraded to a superlike.

### 2026.189 — 2026-09-03

WORD OF THE DAY

+ The card counts down the time left in the day, and gets more urgent as the
  deadline gets close.
+ Standings freeze once the day ends and keep the order they finished in.
+ See where your drawing placed, with gold and silver ribbons for first and
  second.

GALLERY

+ Thumbnails load more smoothly instead of all at once.

### 2026.188 — 2026-09-01

Reactions: the single superlike is now forty different options. Pick one on the drawing you just guessed, or on anything in Showcase or the Word of the Day.

Superlikes: the subscription includes 32 a year, up from 12. If you already subscribe, the difference has been added to your balance.

Each day the top two artists on the Word of the Day earn superlikes. Two for first and one for second.

Forfeiting ends on the same card as a correct guess, so you can still react to the drawing.

Usernames are no longer rejected over words that were never a problem.

Word of the Day reminders can be switched off in Settings, and you can now be notified when someone else draws the Word of the Day (off by default).

### 2026.187 — 2026-08-29

Guessing: all the letters now fit on screen, so you never have to shuffle to reach one.

Word of the Day: the card shows who has drawn today, and updates as soon as you close it.

Also fixed: a crash when sharing a video of a word with punctuation, the forfeit reveal showing the wrong letters on multi-word answers, and a crash in the avatar crop dialog at minimum zoom. On iPad the gallery fits more drawings per row.
