Privacy

• A cookie. The first time you log a result, vote, or join a group, we set a first-party cookie called tg_player. It holds a random key, not your name, so we can keep one result per puzzle and show your numbers back to you. It lasts 400 days.
• Your results. From the text a game shares, we keep the game, the puzzle, your score, whether you solved it, and a few details the text holds, like hard mode or Wordle's colored squares. We never keep the text you paste.
• Your nickname, which you choose when you join a group or on your history page.
• Groups you start or join: the group's name, its invite code, and who is in it.
• Votes and suggestions. Your Keep it or Skip it vote on a game, and any game you suggest or upvote, with the game's address and the reason you give.
• Reminders, if you turn them on: the address and keys your browser's push service gives us, so we can send you at most one reminder a day about your groups.

Your browser also keeps a few things on your device only, such as your days-in-a-row streak on the front page and which prompts you closed. They never reach us.

You don't need an account. If you make one, it's through Clerk, with an emailed code, Google, or Discord. Clerk holds your email address and, if you sign in with Google or Discord, the name and picture that service shares. Clerk sets its own cookies to keep you signed in. We keep only Clerk's ID for your account and, if you connect Discord, your Discord user ID, so results from the Discord bot land on your account.

Signing in moves the results and groups from this browser's cookie into your account. Without an account, you see only this week's results; with one, you see your whole history.

Discord sends the bot the messages in channels it can see. The bot checks each one for a game result as it arrives and keeps nothing from the rest. It keeps a result only when the channel is set up (with /setup or /board) and the message holds a result it can read. Then it reacts ✅ and stores:

• your Discord user ID
• your display name in that server, as your nickname
• the result, as on the site, but never the message itself

For each set-up channel it keeps the channel and server IDs, a group named after the channel and server (like "#wordle in Friends"), and when to post the daily and weekly game. /stats uses your Discord user ID to find your results and stores nothing new.

• Anyone with a group's invite link can open its board, which shows members' nicknames and scores. In Discord, everyone who can read a set-up channel sees its board with /board, and the bot's Monday post names last week's leaders.
• Everyone else sees only totals: how many played a puzzle, the average, and how scores spread. There is no public ranking of players.
• Suggested games show their name, website, and upvotes. Only our editors see the reason given.
• Your history page is yours alone.

Our app log counts things like a result logged for a game, a group joined, or a bot command used. Those counts carry no names, IDs, or addresses. When a paste holds no game we can read, we log the start of its first line, up to 30 letters, to see which games to add next, and nothing at all if that line holds an email address, a link, a time, or a long number. Error logs can hold an account or channel ID while we fix a problem. Logs are deleted after 30 days.

The site runs on Amazon Web Services in the United States, and our database is hosted by PlanetScale. Cloudflare sits in front of the site and, like any web host, sees your IP address with each request, which also lets it hold back scripted traffic. We don't store IP addresses. Clerk runs accounts and Discord carries the bot's messages, each under its own privacy policy.

We keep your results until you delete them. Results without an account stay too, and keep counting in each puzzle's average.

• On your history page, Delete your account removes the account in Clerk, every result, vote, and reminder, and your place in your groups. Signed out, Delete your results does the same for this browser's cookie.
• You can leave a group from its page at any time. A group goes away when its last member leaves.
• For results from the Discord bot, sign in with Discord here and then delete your account, or write to us with your Discord username.
• Groups you started stay for the others in them, and games you suggested stay without your name.

For anything else, such as a server that wants its channels removed or results from a browser you no longer have, write to [email protected] and we'll delete it.

todays.game isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly keep anything from them. If you think a child under 13 has used it, write to us and we'll delete what they logged.

If what we keep changes, this page changes first, with a new date at the top. Questions go to [email protected]. See also our terms.
