Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 15, 2026

This policy explains what information Games Like Wordle (gameslikewordle.org) collects when you visit the site or play our games, Fivefold and Deep Cut, and how it is used. We collect as little as we can.

What we do not collect

We do not ask for your name, email address or any account details to play. We do not sell personal information.

Information we collect

Game progress and stats. To keep your streak and stats, the site sets a cookie named gf_vid that contains a random identifier. It does not contain your name or contact details and lasts one year. Your progress, stats and settings for each game are stored against this identifier, and a copy is kept in your browser's local storage.

Daily results. When you finish a Fivefold daily puzzle, the number of guesses you took (or a loss) is recorded against the same random identifier so we can show everyone how today's players did. In Deep Cut, each answer you give (or a skip) and your total score for the day are recorded the same way, so we can show the most common answers and today's leaderboard. Other players see only totals, percentages and rankings, never your identifier.

Likes and comments. If you like a page, the like is linked to your random identifier. If you post a comment, we store the name you enter (optional), the text of your comment, the time, and a one-way scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address that we use only to limit spam. Comments are public.

Analytics. We use PVUV, a web analytics service, to count visits and understand how the site is used, for example which pages are viewed, the referring site, the browser and device type, and the approximate country. We use this to improve the site.

Server logs. The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical information such as IP addresses to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse.

How we use information

We use the information above to run the game, keep your stats, show daily results, display comments, prevent spam and abuse, and understand which parts of the site are useful.

Your choices

You can delete the gf_vid cookie and local storage at any time in your browser settings; this resets your Fivefold stats. To ask us to delete a comment you posted, email us from the contact page with the page, the date and the text of the comment.

Children

The site is a general-audience word game and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

If we change this policy, for example if we add advertising, we will update this page and the date above.
