Terms for using CrosswordPuzzlesFreeOnline.com
These Terms of Use describe the basic rules for using CrosswordPuzzlesFreeOnline.com. By accessing the site, you agree to use the service lawfully, respect the technical limits of the website, and avoid interfering with other visitors' ability to use the puzzles.
Using the crossword games
The public crossword games are provided for personal entertainment and general puzzle practice. You may play the puzzles through the website and use the available controls such as hints, checking, revealing, pausing and printing. The fact that a puzzle is free to play does not give a visitor ownership of the website, its software, branding or other protected material.
Embedding a crossword
Where the player provides an Embed option, you may use the generated embed code to place the crossword player on a website, subject to these terms and any technical limits of the service. Do not alter an embed in a way that falsely suggests an official partnership, removes required attribution where it is provided, or attempts to turn the player into a separate service that interferes with the original site.
Acceptable use
You must not attempt to bypass security controls, probe restricted server resources, introduce malicious code, overload the service with automated requests, or deliberately interfere with normal puzzle play. Automated access should be limited to reasonable, lawful purposes and should not create an avoidable burden on the site.
You should also avoid presenting copied site content as if you created it yourself. If you link to a crossword or use an available embed, represent it accurately and do not imply a relationship with CrosswordPuzzlesFreeOnline.com that does not exist.
Content and crossword accuracy
Crossword clues and answers are intended to provide a useful solving experience, but no generated or edited puzzle can be guaranteed to be perfect in every context. A clue may be ambiguous, an answer may be less familiar than expected, or a generated grid may occasionally require review. If you encounter a clear technical or content problem, please report it through the Contact page.
Availability and changes
The site is provided on an as-available basis. Pages, puzzle modes, themes, controls and other features may be updated, changed or temporarily unavailable while the service is maintained. A daily puzzle may also change according to the site's publishing schedule. Nothing in these terms promises a particular uptime, puzzle count, feature set or uninterrupted access.
External services
Sharing controls may open social networks, messaging services or other third-party websites. Those services are independent of CrosswordPuzzlesFreeOnline.com. Your use of an external service is governed by that service's own terms, privacy practices and account requirements.
Changes to these terms
These terms may be revised when the website, its features or its legal requirements change. The current version published on this page is the version that applies to your use of the site. If you continue using the website after a material update, you are accepting the updated terms.
Respect the puzzle experience
The site's tools are intended to make solving enjoyable, not to create a way around normal access controls. Reasonable personal use, ordinary sharing and the provided embed feature are compatible with that goal. Automated or abusive behavior that consumes excessive resources can affect everyone using the service, so it is not permitted.
