Image Clues
Guessing words based on their description is great, but sometimes words can’t do another word justice. Sometimes it would just be easier to show something rather than describe it.
Image clues allow pack authors to define words by searching for an image or uploading one of their own. Now you can use Knoword in so many new and interesting ways.
Here’s what it looks like:
From the “Add word” dialog, simply press the Image button to enter image mode. Next, drag and drop your image or select “Auto” mode to search for stunning images from Unsplash.

These packs only scratch the surface of what you can do with images in Knoword. We’re so excited to see what other novel ideas come to life when teachers get their hands on this feature. Think about the possible applications…
Previously, packs for language learers were either too difficult—the player had to know enough of the language to understand the definition—or just unidirectional (French -> English, English -> German, etc.) Now language teachers can educate using pictures, which is something anyone can understand.
Primary school teachers can benefit from this feature as well. Often times, reading and understanding a dictionary definition can be too challenging for young students, but they can easily identify the contents of an image.
Not to mention, you can even mix and match text definitions and image clues for an interesting variety pack!
Any player can start up a game and play with image clues, but a Pro subscription is required to define words using images in your packs. Knoword Pro is very affordable, and now with image clues, it’s better than ever.
