What this site knows about you

Your guesses and scores are stored in this browser, one entry per puzzle. There is no account, no history of them on a server, and clearing site data removes them.

Pages are served from Cloudflare, which processes the request itself (IP address, user agent, the URL asked for) to deliver the page and protect the site. That is standard for any website and is not used to build a profile of you here.

Page views are counted with Google Analytics 4. Its tag loads from googletagmanager.com once the page has opened, on the site’s own address only, and it sets the _ga cookie so that a second visit is counted as a return rather than a new reader. What it reports is the page you opened, the site that sent you, and a rough location from your IP address.

Sessions are recorded with Microsoft Clarity: where the pointer went, what was clicked, how far the page was scrolled, and a reconstruction of the page as it was drawn. It sets first-party cookies of its own, _clck (about a year) and _clsk (a day), which are what keep one visit as one recording. Every input box is masked, so a word is not recorded while it is still in the box — once a guess is on the board, the word is part of the page like any other.

Neither tool is used for advertising, and neither is given your name or an address to match you by. A browser that blocks them is simply not counted, and the game plays the same either way.

External links — chainle.io and the games on the alternatives page — are other people's sites with their own policies. We do not control what they store.
