Welcome to DOODLE5!
Every day, a new set of 5 pencil-sketch clue drawings are published — all sketched around one mystery word. Your goal: figure out what that word is.
You get 3 guesses to crack the mystery DOODLE5 word. Use hints sparingly — they help, but they cost points. Let's walk through a real example together.
