Terms of Service
Last updated: 6 August 2026
By using this website you agree to the terms set out below. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.
The service
This website provides a free browser-based word guessing game together with written guides about word puzzle strategy. It is offered at no charge and is supported by advertising.
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site at any time without notice. We may also update these terms; continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised version.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use automated systems to access the site in a way that places unreasonable load on it;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its servers, or connected systems;
- interfere with or disrupt the site's normal operation, or the ability of others to use it;
- copy or redistribute substantial portions of the site's written content without permission;
- use the site for any unlawful purpose.
Intellectual property
The written guides and articles on this site are original work and remain the property of the site owner. You are welcome to quote short passages with attribution and a link. Reproducing whole articles is not permitted without written permission.
Word lists derived from public domain dictionaries are not claimed as original work.
No affiliation
This site is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to The New York Times Company or any other puzzle publisher. Trademarks referred to on this site remain the property of their respective owners, and any such reference is descriptive only.
Third-party links and advertising
This site contains links to third-party websites and displays advertising supplied by third parties. We do not control that content and are not responsible for it. A link or an advertisement does not amount to an endorsement. Any dealings you have with an advertiser or linked site are solely between you and that party.
Your saved data
Your game progress and statistics are stored in your own browser rather than on our servers. We cannot recover them for you. Clearing your browser data, using private browsing, or switching devices or browsers will result in the loss of that history, and we accept no responsibility for such loss.
Disclaimer of warranties
The site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any puzzle answer or piece of advice given is accurate or complete.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site owner shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data or profits, arising out of your use of or inability to use this website — even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws applicable in the site owner's place of residence, without regard to conflict of law principles. Where mandatory consumer protection law in your country of residence gives you additional rights, those rights are unaffected.
