How do I stop playing?

In Draw Something, occasionally I'll see a message that my opponent has resigned from the game. It's nothing to do with the quality of my fat-fingered drawings, I assure you. But I do wonder - how are they doing this? How do you resign a game? I've…

If I upgrade my Draw Something, who gets to use the bonus words?

I've noticed a few ads in between drawing sessions that recommend I purchase the game (instead of using the free version). It mentions 1000 more words, no ads, free stuff, etc, but who gets to draw the 1000 + words? Is it the buyer who gets to…

Are there any checks for cheating, or is the game based on trust?

I have been playing Draw Something for 24 hours and I have noticed that a few random opponents spell out the answer if they cannot draw it. This kind of ruins the fun, but I can imagine it would be a very quick way to earn coins which would…

What does 'Nudge' actually do?

In Draw Something, if my opponent hasn't made a move in a little while (a day or so, I guess, haven't measured how long it takes) I get the option to Nudge them. The button is grey and appears where the green Play button usually is. What does…

Does your drawing partner see trashed drawings?

In Draw Something if you completely mess up a drawing you can press the Trash button to start again. Will your drawing partner see the drawings that you trash, or will they only see the final version?

How to stop playing with a player without being forced to quit and restart?

I don't know what's happening with Draw Something but apparently 30/50% of players prefer not play the game and write directly the word I have to guess. I don't like it so I prefer to Pass and abandon the game with that player, but it seems not…

Draw Something on more than one device

I have an iPad and iPhone, can I use the same account on both devices? If so, do I need to be careful and frequently sync the devices to the cloud?
