Privacy Policy

Last updated November 14, 2026

Spellwise is a free daily word game. This page explains what the game stores about you and why. Nothing about you is sold.

If you play without an account

The first time you make a guess, Spellwise saves a random ID in a cookie on your device. Your guesses, results, when you opened and finished each game, streaks and trophies are stored on our server under that ID. Nothing else about you is collected. Clearing your cookies starts you over as a new guest.

If you sign in

• With Google: Google shares your name, email address and profile picture link with Spellwise.
• With an email link: your email address, used only to send you sign-in links.

When you sign in on a device where you played as a guest, those guest games move to your account. You can also choose a display name.

What other players see

If you have an account and a display name, your name and stats appear on the public leaderboard: streaks, win rate, average guesses, average time and number of trophies. You can turn that off in Profile.

People in a group you join also see whether you’ve played today and, once they’ve finished theirs, your result, time and board for the day. Your email address is never shown to anyone.

Analytics

Spellwise uses Google Analytics to understand how people find and use the site: which pages are visited, roughly where visitors are, what kind of device they use, and game events such as finishing a puzzle, using a clue or sharing a result. Google Analytics sets cookies to do this. Spellwise doesn’t send your name or email address to Google Analytics, and has turned off Google’s optional data sharing for this site.

If you’re in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, Spellwise asks before turning Google Analytics on. Anywhere else it’s on unless you turn it off. You can change your choice at any time with Cookie choices at the bottom of the page, or change it here. Google also offers an opt-out browser add-on.

Services that handle your data

• Vercel hosts the site.
• Neon stores the database.
• Resend delivers sign-in emails.
• Google handles sign-in if you choose it, and Google Analytics measures visits.

Cookies and storage

Spellwise uses a cookie for your player ID, cookies that keep you signed in, and Google Analytics cookies (see Analytics above). It also remembers on your device whether you’ve seen the how-to-play screen and your cookie choice. None of these are used for advertising.

Deleting your data

Signed-in players can delete their account at any time from the Profile page. That removes your account, games, streaks, trophies and group memberships. Groups you started pass to the next member.

Age

Spellwise is for people 13 and older. Please don’t create an account if you’re younger.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top will change with it.
