## What is Word Detour?

Word Detour is the classic game of "Taboo" or "In other words" where teams compete against each other by trying to explain words for their teammates without using the actual word.

The app contains over 10000 words that are divided into different categories that can be toggled on or off at your leisure. If the word lists still aren't enough there's also the possibility of adding your own custom wordlists.

Word Detour features:
- A giant word database that is totally free!
- A timer and automatic score keeping.
- Support for up to 6 teams.
- Custom word lists.
- Support for both light and dark appearance.
