What if I think a word isn't valid?

If your opponent has created a word that is misspelled or does not exist in the Exploding Kittens Dictionary, you can challenge the word by looking it up. If their Secret Word is invalid, they lose the game.

Can my Secret Word be a proper noun?

Nope! Like in other word games, you can't use proper nouns like names of people or cities. If the word needs to be capitalized in a sentence, it's probably not valid.
