Game analytics update (October 2026): We measure game starts, completions, result-sharing actions, repeat visits, and advertising slot visibility to improve the games. Events do not include your puzzle answers, name, or email. A small local-storage marker helps us understand returning visits. Visibility events are estimates, not proof of a paid advertisement impression. Google Analytics and our advertising partners may process additional data under their own policies; see the information below.
