Privacy policy
Effective August 5, 2026
The short version
Wordle Dictionary does not require an account and does not ask for your name, email address, or payment information. Your solver inputs are used to perform searches. The site is supported by advertising managed by Journey by Mediavine. Mediavine and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to deliver, measure, and personalize ads, subject to the consent and opt-out choices described below. For visitors in the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Google Analytics remains off unless they choose to allow it. Elsewhere, Analytics is enabled by default and can be disabled at any time from Cookie settings.
Information handled by the site
Solver inputs
Guess history and manual clues are stored in your browser's session storage so the form can be restored during the same browser session. When you search, those clues are included in the page address and sent to the Wordle Dictionary server. Search responses may be cached for up to 24 hours. These clues describe a Wordle game and are not used by Wordle Dictionary to create a personal profile.
Privacy preferences
Your Analytics choice is stored in your browser's local storage and a first-party cookie so the site can remember it. You can reopen Cookie settings from the footer and change that choice at any time. Cloudflare uses its country code at the edge, before the page is served, to decide whether prior consent is required. If the country cannot be determined, Analytics remains off and the consent banner is shown.
Journey separately manages consent and opt-out choices for advertising. Depending on your location, its privacy control may be labeled Update Privacy Settings or Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. You can reopen that control from the footer. Wordle Dictionary's Cookie settings control applies to Google Analytics, not to Mediavine advertising choices.
Google Analytics
When Analytics is enabled, the site loads Google Analytics 4. It may collect page activity, browser and device information, approximate location, and a pseudonymous identifier stored in the _ga cookie. Google states that IP addresses are used during collection and discarded before they are logged. Wordle Dictionary removes search parameters from Analytics page addresses, disables Google Signals and advertising personalization signals, and does not intentionally send names, email addresses, or solver clues to Google Analytics.
Journey by Mediavine advertising
Wordle Dictionary uses Journey by Mediavine to manage programmatic advertising. Mediavine and its advertising partners may use first- and third-party cookies, pixels, tags, identifiers, and similar technologies. They may collect or receive information such as IP address, approximate location, browser and device information, operating system, language, pages viewed, referral sources, search terms, and interactions with the site and advertisements. This information may be used to select, deliver, measure, and improve ads, including interest-based advertising.
Journey inserts Mediavine's current advertising privacy notice on this page. That notice explains Mediavine's collection, use, sharing or sale, advertising partners, international transfers, retention, and the privacy rights and opt-out tools available to you.
Service metrics
We also count page requests and solver-request outcomes at our Cloudflare edge to monitor whether the service is working. These aggregate measurements do not use cookies, local storage, Google Analytics, visitor identifiers, or solver clues, and continue when Google Analytics is off.
Service providers
Cloudflare hosts the site and its server infrastructure and may process request information such as IP address, device information, and security logs. When Analytics is enabled, Google processes Analytics information on our behalf. Journey by Mediavine manages advertising and works with advertising partners to deliver and measure ads. Their own policies govern their processing and international data transfers.
Retention and your choices
Session storage is controlled by your browser and normally lasts until the browser tab or session is closed. Search-cache entries expire after 24 hours. Your consent preference remains until you change it or clear site storage. Google Analytics retains information according to the retention settings applied to the Analytics property. Mediavine's advertising privacy notice on this page describes its retention practices.
You may disable Analytics without losing any solver functionality. To manage interest-based advertising, use Journey's privacy control in the footer or the other opt-out tools listed in Mediavine's notice. You can also clear this site's storage or cookies using your browser settings. Opting out of interest-based advertising does not remove ads, but the ads you see will not be personalized using your online activity.
Advertising-related sale or sharing
Mediavine's notice states that it may use, share, license, sell, or otherwise disclose personal information to its partners to enable interest-based advertising. This activity may be considered a sale or sharing under some privacy laws. Where an opt-out right applies, use Journey's advertising privacy control in the footer. Wordle Dictionary's Google Analytics tag is separately configured for measurement only, with advertising storage and personalization signals disabled.
