How 5 Letter Words handles privacy for the website and iOS app.
Last updated: 2026-06-30
Introduction
5 Letter Words is an English five-letter word finder, solver, unscrambler, and word-list reference. This Privacy Policy explains how the 5letterwords.io website and the 5 Letter Words iOS app handle information.
iOS App Privacy
The 5 Letter Words iOS app is designed to work without an account and without sending dictionary searches to our servers.
The app does not collect personal data from the native app, does not track users, and does not include third-party advertising, analytics, or crash reporting SDKs in the current release.
The app stores the following information locally on your device:
- favorite words
- recent words and recent searches
- saved word lists and saved searches
- issue-report drafts you create inside the app
- appearance and haptic preferences
This local data is stored on your device and is not transmitted to 5 Letter Words. You can clear recent searches in the app. You can also remove the app from your device to remove local app data managed by iOS.
Dictionary search, Wordle-style clue filtering, unscramble results, and word-list browsing run against bundled word data on your device. The app does not require a login, subscription, or in-app purchase.
External Links And Email
Some actions may leave the app:
- External dictionary lookup opens your browser.
- Contact Support opens your email client.
When you use your browser, email provider, or another external service, that service may process information under its own privacy policy. 5 Letter Words does not control those external services.
Website Privacy
The 5letterwords.io website provides word search tools, word lists, legal pages, support paths, and related product information. Finder inputs are processed in the page where possible and do not need to be stored to return results.
The website may use basic server logs, cookies, or local storage for security, preferences, routing, abuse prevention, and site operation. If the website offers support forms, accounts, or other optional features, we use the information you provide only to operate that feature, respond to requests, and protect the service.
We do not sell personal information.
Support Requests
If you contact us for support, we may receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address, message content, screenshots, device details, or app version. We use support information only to reply, diagnose issues, improve the product, and maintain records needed to operate support.
Data Sharing
We may share information only in these limited cases:
- with service providers that help operate hosting, email, security, support, or infrastructure
- when required by law or valid legal process
- to protect the rights, safety, and security of 5 Letter Words, users, or the public
Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information we handle. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, but we work to reduce risk and limit the information we collect.
Children
5 Letter Words is a general word reference and puzzle utility. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your Choices
You can choose not to contact support or use optional website account features. In the iOS app, you can clear recent searches from the More screen and manage local saved items from the app interface.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete personal information you have provided to us. Contact us if you need help with a privacy request.
Changes To This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the product changes. The updated date above shows the latest revision.
