What is kept in your browser
Twenty-seven small entries may be saved in your browser's local storage. They only remember choices you make and games you play yourself, they are never sent to us, and they contain nothing that identifies you.

Removing them
Clearing the stored data for this site in your browser's settings removes all twenty-seven entries. The site works the same without them; it simply shows the light theme, may show the language suggestion again, and the daily word game forgets its statistics and the days you finished.
