Settings & scoring
🪢 Gallows: Players take turns naming a letter or solving the word – at a table each turn has 60 seconds, then the next player is up. Every miss adds one of eight parts to the shared gallows; once it is complete, the word is lost. A correct letter scores 5 points per letter revealed, solving the word 10 points for every letter that was still covered. Naming only the last letter scores its 5 points.
⚙ Settings: The host picks the variant: Timed (default) or Gallows.
💡 Good to know: In Gallows you tap the letters on the on-screen keyboard; a wrong letter counts as a miss just like a wrong solution. If someone stays idle, the host can skip their turn – after 60 seconds anyone else can too.
