Privacy Policy
Last Updated: June 26, 2026
Introduction
This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and protection of data on our website. Our commitment to your privacy is paramount, and we strive to be transparent about our data practices.
Our website may contain links to external websites that are not operated by us. Please be aware that we have no control over the content and practices of these sites and cannot accept responsibility for their respective privacy policies.
Data Collection, Storage & Puzzle Sharing
Our application is designed with privacy in mind. We do not require you to create an account or provide any personally identifiable information (such as your name, email address, or postal address).
When you create a custom puzzle using our tools, the puzzle content (title, words, categories, and an anonymous user ID) is stored in our cloud database. The anonymous user ID is a random identifier generated and stored locally in your browser — it is not linked to your real identity.
Your game history (played games, created games, and shared games) along with basic device and browser information is automatically synced to our database under your anonymous user ID. This ID is specific to your current browser and device — switching browsers or devices will generate a new anonymous ID.
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to third parties. Your data is used only to operate, maintain, and improve our service.
Local Storage & Browser Data
We use your browser's local storage to enhance your experience. The following data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly use the sync feature:
- Anonymous user ID (a random identifier for distinguishing your puzzles and history)
- Game history (played games, created games, and shared games)
- Cached puzzle data (to improve load times)
- Theme preference and language preference
Third-Party Services & Data Sharing
We use the following third-party services to operate our website. Each provider processes data only as necessary to deliver their service:
Cloud Database: We use a third-party cloud database provider to store puzzle data and synced user data. The provider does not access your data beyond providing the hosting infrastructure.
Google AdSense: We may display advertisements via Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve personalized ads based on your visits to our site and other websites. See the 'Advertising & Google AdSense' section for more details.
No Sale of Data
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to any third party. The data we collect is used solely to operate, maintain, and improve our service. We do not share your data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
The only data shared with third parties is through standard web technologies (e.g., Google AdSense cookies) as described in the 'Advertising & Google AdSense' section, which you can opt out of.
Advertising & Google AdSense
While we may not currently display advertisements, we partner with third-party vendors, including Google, to serve ads on our website.
When active, Google AdSense uses cookies and web beacons to collect data and serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites. Data collected may include:
- Your IP address
- Browser type and language
- Access times and pages viewed
- Clicks on advertisements
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve personalized ads to our users. For more information about how Google uses data, please visit Google's Privacy & Terms page.
Cookies and Usage Data
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your user experience. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help us improve our website functionality, understand user preferences, and analyze website performance. Types of cookies used include:
Essential Cookies: Necessary for the website to function (such as generating or playing puzzles) and cannot be switched off in our systems.
Analytical Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting and reporting information anonymously.
Advertising Cookies: Used by third-party vendors (like Google AdSense) to make advertising more engaging and relevant to users.
Opt-Out Options
Users can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings page. Additionally, users can visit www.aboutads.info to learn more about online behavioral advertising and opt-out options for third-party vendors.

Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk and protect the data we process from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Because puzzle data is encoded directly into the URL, we minimize the amount of data we hold, significantly reducing security risks.
User's Commitment
Users agree to use our website and its puzzle-creation tools responsibly. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Not engaging in any illegal activities or activities that violate others' rights.
- Not creating or sharing custom puzzle content that promotes hate speech, discrimination, harassment, or violence.
- Not sharing malware, viruses, or any code designed to damage or disrupt our services.
- Not interfering with or disrupt our website's functionality or attempting to gain unauthorized access to our systems.
- Not using automated systems or bots without our express permission.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update Our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
