From BoardGameGeek

Word Wipe is a fast, cooperative, real-time word association game where players work together to clear a growing spread of cards before time runs out. Each table card represents a noun concept, and players must think creatively to connect them through a single shared idea. At any moment, a player can attempt a "word wipe" by choosing a secret word that links their hidden card with one or more cards on the table. They reveal their card, group the cards they are connecting with their clue, and flip a sand timer while the rest of the players race to guess the exact secret word. You can give clues by arranging or tapping cards, or by tapping a Hint Card to show if your word is a being, place, or thing, but you cannot speak. The gameplay is chaotic, collaborative, and driven by quick thinking. Players are constantly scanning the table, forming connections, and deciding when to take their shot. Successful guesses remove cards from play, while missed attempts add more cards, increasing the pressure for the whole group. To win, your team must clear all the table cards before time runs out. Every correct guess brings you closer, but every mistake makes the puzzle harder. Stay sharp, think creatively, and wipe the board before time runs out. -description from the publisher
