Terms of Service

Last updated: November 14, 2026. Stringle is operated independently by Ali Alahmad in Ontario, Canada. Contact and privacy enquiries: contactstringle@gmail.com.

Playing Stringle

Stringle is a free browser game for personal entertainment. No game account or purchase is required. Each move changes one letter and must be accepted by the game’s dictionary. Earlier words may be revisited, but an unchanged consecutive word is not a move. Undo is not available. Endless offers Reset for the current puzzle and Next for a new puzzle; Daily cannot be reset. The dictionary can change, including the treatment of rare words and optimal solutions.

Discord Activity

These terms also cover Stringle's single-player Discord Activity. Discord's own terms apply separately to its platform. Activity progress is separate from website progress and is stored on the device when the Activity browser permits it. The Activity does not offer collaborative multiplayer or the website's community-result submission feature. Where enabled, optional verified Daily sharing checks account identity and ladder validity before opening Discord's share picker. The first shared result per user, puzzle date and dictionary edition is retained; it is not a cloud backup of solo game progress. Validated results do not establish unaided play and offer no prizes. See the Privacy Policy for retained records and deletion controls. Availability and features may differ between Discord clients. No affiliation, endorsement or verification by Discord is claimed by these terms.

Progress and availability

Daily puzzles use the device’s local calendar date. Progress and statistics are stored in the browser and can be lost when site data is removed or storage is unavailable. There is no cloud backup or guaranteed availability. The operator may update or discontinue the game.

Daily comparisons

Daily comparisons appear automatically after completion and use submitted results, not all visitors or verified unique people. They include assisted play, may contain duplicate or manipulated submissions, and offer no prizes. Multiple shortest solutions may exist. Your full game progress remains browser-only.

Responsible use

Please do not disrupt the service, attempt unauthorized access, introduce malicious code or use the site unlawfully. These guidelines do not restrict rights that applicable law protects.

Third-party materials

Software and dictionary materials remain subject to their own licenses. No exclusive rights in English words or game rules are claimed. The current accepted dictionary is a four-letter subset of Re-Enable with documented additions and exclusions. Its MIT licence and source details are reproduced in the dictionary permissions and attribution. See also the software notices. Stringle is an independent game and is not affiliated with Wordle or The New York Times.

Privacy and legal rights

See the Privacy Policy. Nothing here is intended to waive mandatory consumer or privacy rights. These pages do not impose mandatory arbitration, an indemnity or an exclusive forum. No blanket exclusion of liability is asserted.

Updates and contact

Significant changes to features or data practices may require updated notices or additional consent before use. Questions can be sent to contactstringle@gmail.com.
