The short version
- No accounts and no sign-up.
- No advertising and no ad trackers.
- The letters you type are solved on your device, never sent to us.
- Google Analytics counts visits, and sets two cookies to do it. Nothing else sets a cookie.
- Your game progress and settings stay in your own browser.
What you type
Solving happens in your browser. The site downloads word lists and your device searches them, so the letters you enter are not sent to us to be solved. When you tap a word to see its meaning, your browser downloads a small file of definitions for words that begin with the same letters.
What stays on your device
To remember your settings and progress, the site saves a few small items in your browser’s local storage. They never leave your device and we cannot see them. Clearing this site’s data in your browser removes them all.
as.rack- The letters you last typed into a solver, so they are still there when you come back.
as.sort- How you like solver results sorted.
as.listsort- How you like word lists sorted.
as.scores- Which game’s letter scores word lists show.
as.theme- Light or dark mode, if you chose one.
as.daily.v1- Your Daily Anagram results, streak and stats.
as.levels.v1- Your Anagram Puzzles level, current and best run, and solve counts.
as.quiz.v1- Your Daily Quiz results and streak, and your best practice score.
as.kids.v1- Progress in the kids’ tile game.
as.jumble.v1- The Jumble you are solving: clue words, chosen answers, circled letters and the final answer, so switching apps does not lose it.
How we count visits
We use Google Analytics to see how many people visit and which pages they use, so we know what to build next. It records the page you are on, roughly where in the world you are, and the kind of device and browser you use. We never send it the letters you type or the words you look up, and we cannot use it to identify you.
It is loaded only once the page has finished the work you came for, so it never slows a search down. To opt out, use your browser’s tracking protection, an ad blocker, or Google’s opt-out add-on. The site works exactly the same either way.
The cookies it sets
_ga- Google Analytics: tells return visits apart from new ones, using a randomly generated number. Expires after 2 years.
_ga_F36CMCVETQ- Google Analytics: keeps track of a single visit, so a handful of page views is counted as one session. Expires after 2 years.
What our host sees
The site is served by Cloudflare. Like any web server, it processes technical details of each request — such as your IP address, browser type and the page asked for — to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse. We do not use this to identify or profile visitors.
Children
Some pages are made for children and classrooms. We do not collect personal information from anyone, including children.
If you email us
We use your email address only to reply to you, and do not add it to any list.
Changes
If we ever add another analytics provider or any advertising, this page will be updated to say which providers are used and what they collect, and the date above will change. Questions? Email hello@anagramsolver.me.
