Privacy
Last updated: May 3, 2026
The short version
Word Play Forever runs entirely in your browser. We don't have user accounts, we don't have a server that stores your gameplay, and we don't set tracking cookies. Your stats, settings, and game state live in your browser's local storage on the device you're using.
What stays on your device
- Your game progress (current puzzle, guesses)
- Your stats (games played, win streaks, guess distribution)
- Your settings (hard mode, dark theme, high contrast, motion, confetti)
Clearing your browser's site data for this domain erases all of the above. We have no way to recover it.
What we don't do
- No social media pixels
- No selling or sharing of personal data — we don't collect any
- No email sign-ups or password databases
Children
Word Play Forever is suitable for general audiences. Because we don't collect personal information from anyone, we don't knowingly collect personal information from children either.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
