Public Daily archive

A logged-in player’s display name, score, best combo, and longest-word length can appear on current and historical Daily leaderboards. WordSQD does not publish the submitted words, email address, internal account ID, or exact completion time on archive pages.

Your choices

• You can play without an account, though some features such as saved history and leaderboard identity require sign-in.
• You can block or clear cookies in your browser. Some account, anti-abuse, theme, and ad functions may stop working.
• You can request account deletion or privacy help by email. Account deletion removes the account’s saved Daily score rows from public archive leaderboards.
