On your device

Your name, look, stats, history and settings are saved in your browser. Clearing browser data or tapping Erase in Settings deletes them.

While you play

Your browser talks to your partner's through public relay servers (broker.emqx.io, test.mosquitto.org) under your room code. Messages include your name, look, letters, words and timings. The relays are run by others and may log traffic. Anyone with your room code could read them. Keep codes unguessable and private details out of names.

Transfer codes

Your save is encrypted in your browser before it is uploaded. The relay only holds unreadable data. Cancelling clears it.
