Terms of Use

Last Updated: June 18, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using our website (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

The Service provides a tool for users to create, play, and share custom word-grouping puzzles. The Service is provided free of charge, "as is," and we reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without notice.

3. User Content and Responsibility

Our Service allows you to create custom puzzles. We do not store your custom puzzle data on our servers; rather, the data is encoded directly into a shareable URL generated by your browser.

  • Responsibility: You are solely responsible for the content (words, categories, and themes) you choose to include in your custom puzzles.
  • Content Restrictions: You agree not to create or share puzzles that contain unlawful, defamatory, harassing, abusive, fraudulent, or otherwise objectionable content.
  • No Endorsement: Because we do not host or monitor the generated URLs, we do not endorse and are not responsible for any user-generated puzzles shared via the Service.

4. Intellectual Property and Affiliation Disclaimer

The layout, design, and original code of this Service are the property of the site operators.

Disclaimer: This website is an independent project and is not affiliated with, associated with, authorized by, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with The New York Times Company or its "Connections" game. The concepts of word-grouping puzzles are utilized here for educational and entertainment purposes.

5. Acceptable Use

When using the Service, you agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.
  • Attempt to hack, destabilize, or adapt the Service, or falsely imply that another website is associated with the Service.
  • Use automated scripts, spiders, or bots to interact with the Service.
  • Distribute malicious URLs or modify the URL generation process to inject malicious code (Cross-Site Scripting or otherwise).

6. Advertisements and Third-Party Links

The Service may feature advertisements delivered by third-party vendors, including Google. Your interactions with advertisers found on or through the Service are solely between you and such advertisers. We are not responsible or liable for any loss or damage incurred as the result of any such dealings. The Service may also contain links to third-party websites; we do not control or endorse these external sites.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

Your use of the Service is at your sole risk. The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. We expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that previously generated puzzle URLs will remain functional indefinitely.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the site operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (a) your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Service; (b) any conduct or content of any third party on the Service; or (c) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content.

9. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms of Use at any time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Terms of Use on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Use.
