Party Game Riddle: Two Words, 8 & 5 Letters — "Charades" & "Pictionary"

The riddle: "Party game, two words, 8 and 5 letters."

Answer: CHARADES (8) & PICTIONARY (9?) Wait—Pictionary is 9 letters (P-I-C-T-I-O-N-A-R-Y).

🔤 Correct 8 + 5 Pair

• CHARADES (8) + GAMES (5) — but "Games" is generic
• TABOO (5) + ... No 8-letter partner
• CRANIUM (7) + ...
• SCATTERGORIES (13)

🎯 Likely Intended Answer (Classic Riddle)

CHARADES (8 letters) & PICTIONARY (9 letters) — the two most iconic party games. The "5 letters" might be a misremembered constraint, or the riddle expects CHARADES as the 8-letter answer and ignores the second.
