Terms of Service
Last updated: January 1, 2026
By accessing and using WordMaster, you agree to these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully. They're written in plain language because we believe legal documents shouldn't require a law degree.

The Service is provided "as-is" at no charge to users. No account registration is required or offered.

4. Intellectual Property
The WordMaster name, logo, game design, visual elements, and original content are owned by WordMaster and protected by copyright and trademark laws. The curated word list represents significant editorial effort and is proprietary.
The general concept of a word guessing game is not owned by anyone, but our specific implementation, design, and branding are protected. You may not create a substantially identical copy of WordMaster for commercial purposes.

- The word list will be exhaustive or universally agreed upon
Read our full Disclaimer for more details on limitations.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, WordMaster and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim arising from these terms shall not exceed zero dollars, as the Service is provided free of charge.
8. Service Availability
We strive to keep WordMaster available 24/7, but we do not guarantee continuous availability. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service at any time without notice. We are not liable for any disruption to your access to the Service.
9. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
