By using NYTSolvers, you consent to this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.
Any information that can be used to identify you, such as email addresses provided via contact forms or newsletter signups.
Information that cannot be used to identify you, such as browser type, device type, IP address, and usage patterns.
Any puzzle-related inputs or queries (such as word guesses, puzzle searches, or hint requests) submitted by you while using our NYT game solvers.
This policy applies only to online activities on NYTSolvers. It does not apply to offline information or third-party services not controlled by us.
Users may enter guesses, search for puzzle answers, or request hints for NYT games including Wordle, Connections, Strands, Spelling Bee, Letter Boxed, Mini Crossword, and Sudoku. These inputs are not stored on our servers.
If you provide your email via the contact form or newsletter signup, it is stored only for communication purposes.
We may collect data such as IP address, browser type, operating system, date/time of visit, pages visited, and other non-identifiable diagnostic data.
Browser cookies and Google Analytics are used to analyze traffic and improve user experience. Cookies do not store personal information unless voluntarily provided by the user.
