Terms & Conditions

These terms apply when you use LINX (playlinx.app) — the website, the daily puzzles, and any optional account features. By playing, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. Our Privacy policy explains how we handle data and forms part of these terms.

LINX is a free, daily word-game service: word-chain puzzles and related modes (such as Hunt and Morph), streaks, stats, badges, and sharing features. We may add, change, retire, or rebalance puzzles, modes, badges, titles, and features at any time. Daily content rotates on a schedule we control.

• You do not need an account to play. If you create one (e.g. by signing in with Google or an email magic link), you must provide accurate information and keep access to your sign-in email secure.
• Accounts are for personal, non-commercial use. One person per account. You are responsible for activity under your account.
• You may stop using your account at any time and can ask us to delete it (see Contact). We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or abuse the service, and may remove inactive accounts after reasonable notice.

You agree not to:

• attack, overload, scrape, or disrupt the service or its APIs;
• use bots or automation to play, farm streaks/badges, or skew leaderboard-style stats;
• attempt to access other players' data or non-public parts of the system;
• use the service for anything unlawful.

Streaks, badges, titles, and comparative stats are for fun. We may recalculate or reset them (e.g. to fix bugs or abuse) without liability.

If you submit content to us (for example suggested word chains, feedback, or ratings), you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, adapt, and publish it as part of operating and improving LINX, without obligation to credit or compensate. Don't submit anything you don't have the right to share.

The LINX name, puzzles, chains, design, and code are owned by us or our licensors. You may share screenshots and the share cards the game generates. You may not copy the puzzle database, republish daily content as your own, or use our branding to suggest affiliation without permission.

LINX is provided free and "as is". We aim for it to be available daily, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, and we may modify or discontinue the service (in whole or part) at any time. Local browser data — including stats not saved to an account — can be lost if you clear your browser or switch devices; we are not responsible for that loss.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all implied warranties and are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost data, or lost enjoyment arising from use of a free game. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited (e.g. for fraud).

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction — though if you are a consumer elsewhere, you keep any mandatory protections of your local law.

We may update these terms; the date at the top shows the latest revision. Material changes will be flagged in the app where practical. Continuing to play after a change means you accept the updated terms.
