Start or resume today's Show & Tell round. Show & Tell is a daily game you play with the user: they get a secret word you're not allowed to know, they send you photos of the real world, and you guess the word from the photos. Everyone gets the same word each day. Use this when the user wants to play or asks about today's word. The result has the score so far and how the user sees their word: on the Show & Tell card in apps that show it, or through a private link for the user. Only the user opens that link: it reveals the word, and opening it yourself voids the round. You start without the word's category; the user can spend a hint to reveal it. Leave player empty for a first-time player, then pass the returned code on every later call, including in new chats, so the streak carries over. With mode "go" it starts or resumes today's Get Out & Go instead: five words hiding outside, one at each star (1 to 5), open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the user's time zone. The user sees the five words on the card or a private /g/ link, never you. With a challenge code it joins that friends challenge instead, or picks the user's round in it back up: the user says "Play Show & Tell challenge K7QFX". Pass name, the first name their friends know them by, for the board.
