Privacy Policy
Read how browser-based word searches, optional definition lookups, analytics, advertising technologies, cookies, and contact messages are handled.
Information processed by the word tool
Letter searches are processed in your browser. The core word finder does not send the entered letter sequence to a dictionary API. The local dictionary file is downloaded from this website.
When you deliberately click a result to request its definition, that individual word is sent to a third-party definition service. The site currently attempts the Free Dictionary API first and may use Datamuse as a backup. Those services may receive normal request information such as your IP address, browser details, and the requested word under their own privacy practices. The full set of letters you typed is not sent as part of the definition request unless it is itself the word you clicked.
Analytics data
The site may use Google Analytics to collect aggregate usage information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser characteristics, referral source, and interaction events. Google may process IP address and device identifiers according to its own policies. IP anonymization is requested in the site configuration where supported.
Advertising and cookies
The site may use Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies to deliver, measure, and personalize advertising where permitted. Consent requirements and available controls depend on your location.
Your choices
You can limit cookies through browser settings, use privacy or content-blocking tools, and review Google’s advertising controls. Blocking some technologies may affect advertising or analytics but should not prevent the local word finder from operating.
Data retention and third parties
Unscramble Words Online does not maintain a user-account database. Analytics and advertising retention are controlled primarily through the relevant Google services and their configured policies. External links lead to sites with separate privacy practices.
Children’s privacy
The site is a general-audience educational resource and is not designed to collect personal information from children. Do not submit personal or sensitive information through email.
Policy updates
This policy may change as the site’s technologies or legal obligations change. The latest revision date appears below.
