Terms of Service

Word Puzzle World is operated by an independent developer. For privacy, abuse, support, or legal questions, contact support@wordpuzzleworld.com.

Word Puzzle World provides online puzzle tools, including word search, word scramble, anagram, crossword, and Sudoku tools, printable puzzles, image scan / OCR features, and a daily game. The service is designed for general educational, classroom, homeschool, family, and personal puzzle use.

The browser-based Sudoku generator creates classic 9x9 Sudoku puzzles, answer keys, and print-friendly layouts.

The website is not a legal, professional, archival, or guaranteed educational records service. You should review all puzzle content, extracted text, answer keys, and outputs before using, printing, sharing, or relying on them.

You are responsible for the words, titles, puzzle grids, images, screenshots, camera captures, and other content you enter or upload. Do not enter or upload personal information, student records, school IDs, confidential information, sensitive personal information, unlawful content, or content you do not have permission to process.

If you upload a worksheet, puzzle image, screenshot, or photo, you confirm that you have the right to use that material with the service and that your use does not violate another person's rights, privacy, school policy, or applicable law.

If you attach up to three screenshots to feedback, they may be stored privately for up to 30 days and made available to the operator through one protected support link. Do not include student information, faces, account details, confidential material, or other sensitive information. Anyone with the complete protected link can view all screenshots in that feedback while the link remains active.

The solver may offer Standard Scan and Advanced Scan. Standard Scan uses browser image processing and self-hosted OCR model assets on your device. If you deliberately choose Advanced Scan, your selected full puzzle image is sent through our server to a third-party AI model provider to extract the letter grid and word list together. Advanced Scan does not automatically fall back to Standard Scan when it fails. You may switch modes yourself or be asked to retake, straighten, crop, improve the photo, or type the words manually.

OCR extraction may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unable to read certain images. You are responsible for reviewing and correcting extracted grids, word lists, answer keys, and generated outputs before using, printing, sharing, or relying on them. Do not upload images containing personal information, student records, confidential information, sensitive personal information, or content you do not have permission to process.

Image scan may fail because of blurry photos, tilted pages, unusual fonts, low contrast, handwritten letters, cropped word lists, poor lighting, or unsupported image formats. Manual editing remains your responsibility before solving or printing.

We may set daily or other usage limits for OCR image scans, feedback submissions, or protected server endpoints, including limits based on browser, IP network, or other anti-abuse signals. Usage limits may change over time and are not guaranteed.

Attempts to bypass limits, automate OCR requests, scrape aggressively, overload endpoints, or abuse the service may result in request blocking or loss of access.

Advanced Scan may have a limited number of requests per day. Limits may reset based on server time and may change to protect the service from abuse or excessive cost.

Generated puzzle outputs are provided as-is. Please review puzzles and answer keys before using them in class, at home, or in other materials.

Sudoku puzzles are generated automatically and difficulty labels are algorithmic estimates. You are responsible for reviewing puzzles and answer keys before using, printing, sharing, publishing, or relying on them.

You may use generated puzzles for personal, classroom, homeschool, and non-commercial educational purposes. Commercial publishing, resale, print-on-demand, KDP, Etsy listings, large-scale redistribution, or inclusion in paid products may require separate review and is not granted by default.

You remain responsible for ensuring that your word lists, images, uploaded materials, and final outputs do not infringe copyrights, trademarks, privacy rights, school policies, or other legal rights.

You may not use Word Puzzle World to upload unlawful, harmful, privacy-invasive, confidential, infringing, abusive, or malicious content. You may not attempt to disrupt the service, bypass security controls, reverse engineer restricted systems, probe private APIs, or use automated systems in a way that harms availability or cost.

Do not use the service to process student records, private classroom materials, medical information, government identifiers, financial information, or other sensitive personal data.

Word Puzzle World, including its website design, code, branding, and original site content, is owned by or licensed to the operator of the service. You may not copy, resell, frame, or misuse the site or branding except as allowed by law or with permission.

You retain responsibility for content you submit. By using the service, you grant us the limited right to process your inputs and uploaded images only as needed to operate the tools, provide OCR/image scan results, secure the service, troubleshoot errors, and enforce these Terms.

The service may rely on third-party providers such as Cloudflare for hosting, security, databases, and private feedback screenshot storage; Discord for support and feedback notifications; an AI model provider for Advanced full-image puzzle extraction; analytics providers for aggregate measurement; and email providers for support messages.

Third-party services are controlled by their own providers and may be subject to their own terms, privacy policies, availability, retention rules, and security practices. We are not responsible for third-party outages, policy changes, or processing outside our control.

The current puzzle tools are free to use, but request limits may apply to image scans and other protected features.

The current version does not include paid purchases, subscriptions, billing, or refunds. If paid features are introduced later, applicable pricing, billing, cancellation, refund, and usage terms will be provided before purchase.

Word Puzzle World is provided on an as-is and as-available basis. We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, accurate, or suitable for every classroom, school, publication, or use case.

OCR results, generated puzzles, answer keys, and game results may contain mistakes. You are responsible for checking results before using them with students, publishing them, printing them, sharing them, or relying on them.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Word Puzzle World will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages, or for loss of data, profits, business opportunities, goodwill, or other intangible losses arising from or related to your use of the website, uploaded images, OCR results, generated puzzles, answer keys, usage limits, or third-party services.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of these limitations may not apply to you. In that case, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

If you believe content on Word Puzzle World infringes your copyright, contact support@wordpuzzleworld.com with enough information for us to identify the content and review your request. Please include your contact information, a description of the copyrighted work, the allegedly infringing material, and a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized.

We may remove or disable access to content or tools when appropriate and may request additional information before taking action.

You may not use the service in violation of applicable sanctions, export control laws, or laws that restrict access to online services, software, encryption, AI systems, or cloud infrastructure.

We may limit or terminate access to the service or specific features if we believe you have violated these Terms, abused OCR limits, attempted to bypass security controls, uploaded unlawful or harmful content, created risk for the service or other users, or caused unusual cost or availability issues.

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to the developer's place of residence, except where mandatory consumer protection laws provide otherwise. Disputes may be brought before a court with jurisdiction under applicable law. Nothing in these Terms limits consumer rights or other rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.

Questions about these Terms can be sent to support@wordpuzzleworld.com.

We may update these Terms as the website evolves. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
