Hi! I have a few questions within the rules about word count

1. Does ending slides count as separate words? (like on the screen below)

2. Does names of the objects counts as separate words (they appear when you click on interactive objects at the background)?

3. If a word is a part of the background but it's just a a set of random letters (like "DJJGNNSJ") does it count as a word if it advance the story?

1: If as a screen (slide) onto itself, I would say that is like a chapter title and so I don't think it would count.

2: Just as labels for point and click items I think is fine and won't count, as long as it's just the name and not giving any additional story information.

3: In what way would the words be displayed? like as a sign/poster in the background?

Thank you! As for your question, it will be like graffiti (made through code rather than art)

Ooooh Graffiti in code sounds cool!

I think that would fall under signs/posters, so that's fine!
