Huerdle is a small daily puzzle. This page explains the limited data it handles. There are no user accounts and we do not ask for your name, email, or any personal contact details.

Stored on your device

Your settings, your daily results, your streak, and a random anonymous identifier are stored in your browser's local storage. They stay on your device and are never used to identify you personally. Clearing your browser storage erases them.

The leaderboard

When you solve a daily puzzle, your browser may send the puzzle date, your move count, your time, your remaining lives, your chosen display name (if any), and the random anonymous identifier to our server so the result can be ranked. The display name is optional and public on the leaderboard — please don't put anything sensitive in it. We do not collect IP-based location or build advertising profiles from this data.

Ads

If you consent, we show ads via Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads. If you decline, ads are not loaded. You can change your mind by clearing this site's storage. See Google's ads policy for details on the data Google processes.

Your choices

• Decline ads in the consent prompt, or clear site storage to reset it.
• Clear your browser storage to remove your local data and anonymous id.
• Play without a display name to stay fully anonymous on the leaderboard.

This is a plain-language summary provided in good faith, not legal advice. If you operate this site, review it against your jurisdiction's requirements (e.g. GDPR/CCPA) and your ad provider's terms before launch.
