Settings

What you have chosen for yourself. All of it follows you between devices, and none of it changes a game already running.

Game preferences

How your own games are dealt and judged. A match somebody else started is played by their settings, not yours.

Your dictionary

What counts as a word in your own games, and what Start suggests when you set one up. A match somebody else started is played by their settings, not yours.

Play by

Your words

After a board you played alone, be asked what its words mean — tick the ones everyone knows, say what the rest are. Your answers stay with the board, so anyone who opens it reads them. It also ticks the same box for you when you start a game with other people in it.

Your dump

Turn this on and the Klondike cards start a game with no dump bin: every tile you are dealt has to go somewhere, and none of them can be given back for three. It does not change a game already running. A match somebody else started is played by their settings, not yours.

Your boards

What a board of yours looks like on the shelf, before anybody reads the name under it.

Your colour

This is you: the shade every board you share sits on, and your colour in a live shared game. One each — a colour somebody else has taken is not offered.

Your board look

Your shade decides the colour; this decides what is done with it. One each — a look somebody else has taken is not offered. The wash is always there, and it is what you go back to.

The name you type is the name they are stuck with — it comes from the invite, not from their Google account.
