Quote: "When you play the game I have words overlapping with the gallows"
How are you playing the game? I had to fix about 10 bugs just to get it to compile.
Anyway, my edited version:
randomize timer()
startofprogram:
rem variable declaration section
dim wordlist(12) as string
dim itemletters(5) as string
num as integer
gitem as string
li as integer
found as string
Error as integer
guess as string
usedletters as integer
letterguess as integer
rem assignment of value section
wordlist(0) = "queen"
wordlist(1) = "sword"
wordlist(2) = "spear"
wordlist(3) = "noble"
wordlist(4) = "fire"
wordlist(5) = "fief"
wordlist(6) = "serf"
wordlist(7) = "moat"
wordlist(8) = "bows"
wordlist(9) = "sly"
wordlist(10) = "die"
wordlist(11) = "oat"
wordlist(12) = "spy"

gitem = wordlist(num)
li = len(gitem)
if li = 3
threeSpace()
else
if li = 4
threeSpace()
fourSpace()
else
threeSpace()
fourSpace()
fiveSpace()
endif
endif
for c = 1 to li
itemletters(c) = mid$(gitem, c)
printc itemletters(c)
next c
input "Guess a letter or press qq to quit: ", guess
while guess<> "qq"
found = "no"
if guess = itemletters(1)

Appearance wise I suggest moving the title, gallows (with hangman) and letter spaces to the top right of the screen and then have the record of inputs in the bottom right portion of the screen.
