This policy applies to www.freewordlesolver.com (the "Site"), operated as an independent Wordle helper. It is not affiliated with the New York Times.
What this site does with your guesses
The solver runs in your browser. Words and tile colors you enter are not sent to our own database. We do not create accounts, and we do not store your puzzle history on a server.
Hosting and security logs
The Site is hosted on Vercel. DNS and traffic may pass through Cloudflare. Those providers may automatically log technical data such as IP address, browser type, date and time of the request, and the pages requested. That logging is for security, reliability, and abuse prevention. See Vercel's privacy policy and Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Analytics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits, referrers, countries, and browsers. It is designed not to use advertising cookies or track you across other sites. See Cloudflare Web Analytics and Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Cookies and similar technology
We do not set first-party account cookies. Third parties listed below may set cookies or use similar storage when you load the Site, especially if advertising is enabled.
Google AdSense and advertising
We may use Google AdSense to show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' uses of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices.
For more about how Google uses data, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and Google's privacy policy.
Visitors in the EU, UK, and similar regions
If we show personalized ads to visitors in regions that require consent, we intend to use a consent tool (such as Google Funding Choices or another CMP) so you can accept or reject advertising cookies. Until that tool is in place, ads may be limited or non-personalized where Google requires it.
Children
The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
We may update this policy as the Site changes (for example, when ads or analytics are added). The date at the top of this page will change when we do.
