About the game

What is Nerd Words: Science!

Nerd Words: Science! is a word game in which teams pit their wits and science knowledge against one another to figure out secret science terms based on clues given to them.

Each round, the lead scientist chooses a term from a hidden pool of science words, then reveals a series of one-word clues associated with the science term. The first three clues must begin with a different letter in the science term other than the first letter. If neither team figures out the science term, the lead scientist gives a final clue that begins with the first letter of the term. After each clue, teams have one minute to both submit a guess and place a bet based upon how confident they are in their guess. Each team that correctly guesses the science term scores points based on their bet, and the team with the most points at the end of the game wins!
