What we store

Guest play: a random identifier saved in your browser (localStorage) and your game progress (display name, rating, coins, hints, statistics, daily puzzle progress).
Accounts: your username and a salted hash of your password (we never store the password itself), plus the same game progress. We don't ask for your email, phone or real name.
Session cookie: one strictly necessary cookie (wd_session) keeps you signed in. We don't use advertising or tracking cookies.
Gameplay and moderation data: chat messages and drawings exist only during a game; drawings that players report, and signals from our anti-cheat checks (timing of guesses), are kept for moderation.
Server logs: IP addresses may appear in technical logs for security and abuse prevention and are rotated regularly.

We don't sell your data or share it with advertisers. Other players only see your display name, rating and results.

You can play without an account.
You can delete your account and all its progress at any time: tap your name → Delete account.
Clearing your browser data removes guest progress.
