1. Who publishes this website
Wordle Hint Today is an independent puzzle resource maintained under the UnblockedGames-USA project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by The New York Times Company. The legal name and postal address of the website operator are not currently published on this site. You can reach the publisher by email from the Contact page.
This page is intended to explain the site's current technical behaviour. It is not a statement that the publisher is covered by every privacy law mentioned below; the application of a particular law depends on the relevant facts and legal thresholds.
2. Information processed when you visit
When a browser requests a page, the hosting and security infrastructure may process ordinary technical request information. Depending on the provider and its configuration, this can include an IP address, requested URL, date and time, browser or device information, referring page, network information and error or security events. This information is used to deliver pages, protect the service, diagnose errors and maintain availability.
The website does not require an account and has no registration, checkout, comment or user-profile system. The core game and word finder do not ask you to submit your name, email address or other personal information.
3. Game guesses and word-finder searches
The five-letter dictionary is bundled with the website. Pattern, letter, vowel and repeat filters run in your browser. The independent game checks guesses in the browser against the bundled reference dictionary. The current implementation does not send each guess, filter value, score grid or practice result to a Wordle Hint Today game server.
The share control only attempts to copy a spoiler-free result or the current page address to your clipboard after you select it. The site does not receive the clipboard contents through that control.
4. Browser storage and cookies
The site stores the optional light or dark appearance preference in your browser's local storage under the key wht-theme. This preference stays in that browser profile until it is cleared. It is not an account profile and is not needed to solve a puzzle.
The site itself does not currently use a first-party analytics cookie or a sign-in cookie for its core features. If optional third-party scripts are enabled, those providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage or similar technologies according to their own settings and policies. Browser controls may allow you to block or delete some of these technologies, although doing so can affect third-party features.
5. Analytics
This website loads Google Tag Manager, a tag management service that lets the publisher add measurement tags without changing the site code. Tag Manager itself does not collect personal data for reports, but tags the publisher configures inside the container, such as Google Analytics, may set cookies or similar identifiers and process page views, device and browser characteristics, referral sources and interactions. Which tags run is controlled in the publisher's Tag Manager account.
Google Analytics is disabled by default in the project configuration. It is loaded only when a site-specific measurement ID is supplied and the analytics-readiness setting is enabled at build time. If enabled, Google may process information about page views, device and browser characteristics, referral sources and interactions to prepare usage reports.
Important configuration note: the readiness setting is an instruction to the site operator, not a visitor-facing consent manager. The current static site code does not itself display a cookie-consent interface or store an individual visitor's analytics choice. The publisher must deploy and verify an appropriate consent mechanism and regional controls before enabling analytics where prior consent or other safeguards are required.
6. Advertising
Google AdSense is also disabled by default. Ad code is included only if a publisher client ID, at least one ad-slot ID and the advertising-readiness setting are supplied. If the publisher enables advertising, Google and advertising partners may process technical identifiers, IP address, browser or device information, ad impressions, frequency and interactions. Depending on the configuration, ads may be contextual or personalized.
The advertising-readiness setting does not, on its own, collect or record visitor consent. The current static project does not provide a certified consent management platform, an individualized cookie preference centre or a California “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” request control. The publisher must ensure that the appropriate consent, opt-out and Global Privacy Control handling is in place before enabling advertising that requires those controls. The site should not enable such advertising merely by changing the readiness flag.
7. Service providers and external links
The website is delivered as a static site through its hosting and content-delivery infrastructure. Those providers may process technical request information to operate and secure the service. If configured, Google Analytics and Google AdSense may process information as described above. The website's DM Sans and Manrope font files are bundled with the site rather than requested from Google Fonts.
Pages may link to external websites, including the official Wordle game and dictionary-source pages. When you follow an external link, the destination site applies its own privacy practices. Review its policy before providing information or interacting with its services.
8. Purposes and legal grounds
Technical processing is used for website delivery, security, troubleshooting and service maintenance. Depending on the jurisdiction and circumstances, the applicable legal basis may include legitimate interests in operating and protecting the website or compliance with a legal obligation. Optional analytics and advertising should be enabled only when the required legal basis, consent and opt-out controls have been established for the relevant visitors and region.
This policy does not claim that one legal basis applies to every provider or processing activity. The provider's own terms and privacy notice may explain its separate role and responsibilities.
9. International processing
Hosting, analytics and advertising providers may process information in countries other than the country where you are located. Where a data-protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer, the publisher and relevant provider are responsible for identifying and applying the appropriate mechanism for that processing.
10. Retention
The website does not maintain a user account database or a server-side history of game guesses. The theme preference remains in local storage until you clear it. Technical logs and any data processed by an optional third-party service are retained according to the relevant provider's service, security and account settings. The publisher does not state a fixed retention period for provider logs that it does not directly control.
11. Children's privacy
The website is a general-audience puzzle resource and does not require children or adults to create an account. It is not designed to collect personal information from children through registration, profile or submission forms. If the publisher becomes aware that personal information has been collected from a child in a way that requires action under applicable law, it will take appropriate steps to address the information.
12. Privacy rights
Depending on where you live and whether the relevant law applies to the publisher and the processing, you may have rights to request access to personal information, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection to certain processing, or withdrawal of consent. Some rights are subject to conditions and exceptions. You may also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.
California residents may have rights under the CCPA as amended by the CPRA when the publisher and processing are covered by that law. Those rights can include knowing, deleting and correcting personal information, opting out of sale or sharing, limiting certain uses of sensitive personal information and receiving equal treatment. The availability of a right depends on the law's scope and exceptions. The site currently does not operate a dedicated California privacy request form or opt-out preference centre; the publisher must configure an appropriate channel and controls if those legal obligations apply.
Official explanations are available from the European Commission's GDPR information page and the California Attorney General's CCPA guidance.
13. How to make a privacy request
Where the law gives you a right to make a request, contact the publisher at [email protected]. Describe the request and the relevant page or service. Do not email passwords, payment information or identity documents unless the publisher has explained why a particular verification step is legally necessary and provided a secure method.
14. Security
The publisher and hosting providers use technical and organizational measures appropriate to the services they operate. No website or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. Do not send confidential or highly sensitive information through this website.
15. Changes to this policy
This policy may be revised when site features, hosting providers, analytics, advertising or legal requirements change. The date at the top of the page indicates the latest revision. Material changes should be reflected here before the relevant new processing is introduced.
