Questions
Is Daily New Game safe for children?
Yes. There are no ads, no chat, no messages and no way to contact other players. Children can play everything free without an account. See privacy and families.
Will my child see rude words?
No rude word is ever planted in a puzzle. Rude words are filtered out of the dictionary, and every word used in levels, dailies and hints passes a family-friendly list.
Can my child buy anything by accident?
Buying Plus means giving an email address and paying on a separate payment page, so it cannot happen with a stray tap. Grown-ups should still keep payment details out of reach.
Are the games too hard for children?
The first levels of every game are gentle, and each game starts with a short animated how to play. Relaxed mode removes hearts, so mistakes never end a puzzle. The levels get harder slowly.
Do children need an account?
No. Progress is saved in the browser. An account needs an email address, so children should ask a grown-up first.
Can we play together as a family?
Yes. Everyone gets the same daily puzzle on the same day, so the whole family can play it and compare stars.
