Word Ladder Online is a free word game you can play without an account. This page explains what happens to data when you use it.
Visit measurement
Google Analytics measures visits to this site using cookies and similar identifiers. It tells us things like which pages are opened, what kind of device and browser is in use, and roughly where visitors are. We use it to understand how the site is used.
Your game progress
Your daily streak, stats and the current daily in progress are kept in localStorage in your browser on your device. They are not uploaded to us or anyone else. The words you type are checked inside your browser against a list loaded from this site. If your browser blocks storage, progress lasts only until the page is closed or reloaded. Sharing only happens when you press Share result or Challenge a friend, and you choose where it goes. A challenge link contains only the score, the puzzle id and, if you type one, a name.
Hosting
The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes standard request data, such as IP address, browser details and the page requested, in order to deliver the site.
Advertising
The site does not run advertising partners today. Advertising partners may be added in future, and this page will be updated when that happens.
Clearing your data
Use your browser settings to delete cookies and site data for wordladderonline.com. This removes your streak, stats and saved daily (stored under the key wordladderonline:v1) and cannot be undone. You can also block cookies in your browser settings, and Google offers a browser add-on for opting out of Analytics.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13. It has no accounts, profiles, comments or chat, so there is nowhere in the game to enter personal details.
