How many words do you need for a 5x5 bingo card?

A 5x5 card has 24 active squares (the center is a free space). For variety across multiple cards, use at least 40–50 words so each card is different.

Should bingo words match the theme?

Yes — match words to your format. Gift bingo uses item names. Phrase bingo uses things people say. Mixing both works too.

Can I use funny or edgy words?

Depends on your crowd. The "things people say" category naturally skews funnier. Avoid anything that could embarrass the guest of honor.
