Privacy Policy
Last updated June 2026
The short version
wordsearchr is a free word-search puzzle site. We collect as little as possible, there are no accounts, and we never sell your data. This page explains the details.
What we collect
You can play puzzles, download printables, and use the puzzle maker without signing up or giving us any personal details. The limited data we do handle is:
- Saved puzzles: if you use the Maker and click "Save & get share link", we store that puzzle's title, word list, and settings so the link works. Saved puzzles are not public, are not indexed by search engines, and are automatically deleted after 30 days.
- AI word suggestions: if you use the "✨ Generate" button, the theme you type is sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) to generate words. We keep only short-lived technical logs of these requests to monitor cost and prevent abuse.
- Anti-bot check: the Maker uses Cloudflare Turnstile to tell humans from bots. Turnstile may process limited technical information from your browser to complete that check.
- Server logs: like most websites, our host (Cloudflare) records basic request data such as IP address and browser type, used only for security, rate-limiting, and keeping the site reliable.
What we don’t do
- No advertising trackers, and no selling or sharing of your personal data.
- No analytics profiles tied to your identity.
- No knowing collection of personal information from children; the site is family-friendly and requires no account.
Cookies
We don’t use advertising or tracking cookies. Cloudflare Turnstile may set a temporary token in your browser needed to complete the human-verification check.
Analytics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits. It is cookieless, doesn’t fingerprint you, and builds no profile of you — it just tells us how many people visited and which pages they saw.
Your choices
- Saving a puzzle is optional: it only happens when you click the share button. Don’t save puzzles you don’t want stored.
- Saved puzzles delete themselves after 30 days. To have one removed sooner, contact us with the share link.
Changes & contact
If this policy changes, we’ll update the date at the top of this page. Questions about privacy? Reach us via the Contact page.
