Your puzzles are yours
These puzzles are personal — inside jokes, memories, things only you and someone you care about would understand. That kind of data has no business sitting readable in someone else's database.
If I were a user, I'd hesitate. And I don't build things I'd hesitate to use.
So here's what we did.
Encrypted before it leaves your browser
When you create a crossword, your browser generates a random encryption key, scrambles everything — the name, the clues, the answers, the personal message — and only then sends the scrambled data to our server. The key to unlock it? It lives in the link you share, in the part after the # symbol. That part never gets sent to any server. Not ours, not anyone's. It stays in the browser.
Our database stores meaningless scrambled text. We can't read your clues. We can't see who the puzzle is for. We can't read your message. Even if someone broke into our database, they'd find nothing usable.
The only way to read your puzzle is to have the exact link you shared.
How it works
Stores only scrambled text. We can't read any of it.
No accounts. No tracking. No analytics. No cookies. We don't know who you are, and we don't want to.
Still don't believe us? Our code is open source. Read exactly how it works, line by line. We have nothing to hide — and neither should your data.
Cheers,
