Mr White & Undercover Game Words List — 200+ Word Pairs
Last updated: July 2026
Every round of Mr White (also called the Undercover game) is built around a word pair. Civilians get one word, the Undercover gets a related but different word, and Mr White gets nothing at all. Browse the full list of 200+ game words below — organised by category and difficulty — so you know exactly what to expect before you play.
How Word Pairs Work
Each round uses one word pair — a Civilian word and an Undercover word. The difficulty setting controls how similar those two words are.
Hard: the two words are almost indistinguishable. Example: Coffee / Espresso, Frog / Toad, Pen / Pencil. The Undercover can easily blend in and even Civilians struggle to give clues that don't accidentally help the infiltrator.
Medium: the words are in the same category but clearly different. Example: Beer / Cider, Basketball / Volleyball, Dog / Wolf. The Undercover has a reasonable chance of surviving but sharp Civilians can catch subtle differences.
Easy: the words are loosely related. Example: Desert / Beach, Harry Potter / Lord of the Rings, Sun / Moon. The Undercover must work hard to avoid being caught immediately.
Mr White always gets no word regardless of difficulty. The difficulty setting only affects the Civilian/Undercover word gap.
