Terms of Use

These terms cover your use of Crack the Tell. Using the site means you agree to them. We've kept them short and readable.

The service

Crack the Tell is a daily cryptic-crossword game, free to play and provided as-is. Features may change, come, or go as we develop the product.

Your account

• You're responsible for activity on your account.
• One person per account — don't share your credentials.
• Keep your sign-in email secure; it's how you get back in.

Acceptable use

• No cheating, scraping, or automated solving.
• No abuse or harassment of other players.
• No attempts to break, overload, or interfere with the service.

Virtual coins

Coins are an in-game currency only. They have no monetary value, are non-transferable and non-refundable, and cannot be purchased or cashed out. We may adjust the coin economy as the game evolves.

Intellectual property

The puzzle content and the site are owned by Crack the Tell. You may use them for personal, non-commercial play only.

Disclaimer & liability

The service is provided as-is, without warranties of any kind. To the extent permitted by law, our liability for your use of the site is limited. Nothing here removes rights you can't waive under applicable law.

Changes

We may update these terms as the product evolves. When we do, we'll change the effective date at the top.
