WordHuddle

Here at WordHuddle headquarters (it's not as glamorous as it sounds -- think "kitchen table", not "fancy boardroom"), we're grateful that so many people have made WordHuddle a daily habit. We're also grateful for all the great feedback on the daily puzzles (please keep rating them!).
We've been thinking about what to add to the game next. We want to add great features, and, frankly, we also want to earn a bit of money to help keep the game going, and keep it ad-free.
We have three ideas for new features and we'd like your opinion. Please read the ideas below and then check any boxes that apply to you.
Idea #0: Access all past puzzles and puzzles missed past and future
Idea #1: More Puzzles, Puzzle Themes
The idea is that we'd continue to offer the basic WordHuddle (the one you're playing now) every day for free. The topics and hints for the basic WordHuddle will continue to be of general interest and will try to avoid specialized knowledge.
In addition, we would offer a number of puzzles each day that focus on certain themes or knowledge areas. The themes would be things like "Movies and TV", "Music", "Books and Literature", and "Science and Technology".
I don't have the time or interest to play more than the free basic puzzle each day.
I'd like to play one or more of these themed puzzles each day (in addition to the free basic puzzle) but I don't think I'd pay for them.
I might pay $1 per month for one or more daily themed puzzles (on top of the free basic puzzle).
Whether you'd pay for them or not, which of the following themes would interest you?
Challenge (general knowledge but more challenging than the basic puzzle)
Shared Word (e.g., ROCK AND ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET)
Puns and Jokes
Kids' Puzzles (5th grade level)
Movies and TV
Music
Books and Literature
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math)
World History
US History
World Geography
US Geography
Any other comments on the idea of additional themed puzzles?
Idea #2: Undo
The idea is that you could earn or purchase Undo's. An Undo would let you undo your most recent play, as if it never happened. You could Undo a guess (perhaps the letter wasn't in the puzzle so you lost 5 points, or perhaps the guess used up too many blank spaces on the board, and you want them back). You could also Undo a failed solution (so the 20 points you lost would come back).
I wouldn't use Undo's, even if they were free.
If I could earn free Undo's by playing puzzles, I would use them. (For instance, maybe you'd earn a free Undo for every 10 puzzles played.)
Even if some Undo's were free (but time-consuming to earn), I might pay for additional Undo's also. For instance, I might pay $1 for 10 Undo's.
Any other comments on the idea of Undo?
Idea #3: Family and Friends Huddle Circles
This idea lets you compare and compete with family, friends, coworkers, or any group you want to play WordHuddle with.
You would be able to create a "Huddle Circle" and invite other people to join it. The Huddle Circle would allow the members to view each other's scores and statistics -- both for the current day and for any day in the past since the Circle started. It would also let you chat with the others in your Huddle Circle.
I wouldn't use Huddle Circles, even if they were free.
I would probably use Huddle Circles, but only if they were free.
To host a Huddle Circle, I might pay $1 per month for each member of my Huddle Circle, e.g., if there were four people in the Circle, I'd pay $4 per month.
Any other comments on the idea of Huddle Circles for playing with family, friends, or coworkers?
If you'd like a response to any of your feedback above, please enter your email address.
How to Play
Use the keyboard to the guess letters in the puzzle. You get 2 points for each guessed letter, except vowels are worth 0 points. If you guess a letter that's not in the puzzle you lose 5 points.
When you think you know what the complete puzzle says, click the Solve! button.
Then, a spinning circle will appear on top of the first empty space and you can pick a letter to fill it in. Continue filling in the remaining letters as the circle moves. When you have filled all the letters, if your solution is all correct, you get 10 points for each solved letter. But if your solution is not correct, you lose 20 points and the game continues.
Try to beat the par score. More blue = more glory!
Scoring Summary
Guessing a consonant in the puzzle 2 points per letter
Guessing a vowel in the puzzle 0 points
Guessing a letter not in the puzzle -5 points
Correct solution 10 points per letter, including vowels
Incorrect solution -20 points

This also potentially includes information about your operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, country, location, and information about how and when you use our website. This information does not identify you personally. It is used only for internal analytics purposses. If we share the results of these analyses with any third parties, it is in a way that treats the data as aggregate statistics, and not in a way that could be used to identify you or any other user of our website.

If you provide personally identifying information to us, such as by giving us your email address or creating an account with your name, we will use such information only in communicating with you and/or managing your account. Such information will never be shared with third parties, except as required by law, such as when the information is subpoenaed.

2. HOW DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?

We use the data in aggregate to identify usage trends, determine the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns, and to evaluate and improve our website.

3. WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH ANYONE?

We only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or to fulfil business obligations.

We may process or share data for the following reasons:

Consent: We may analyze your data if you have given us specific consent to use your personal information for a specific purpose.

Legitimate Interests: We may process your data, when it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests.

Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena.

Vital Interests: We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud or other illegal activities, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information about your visits to our website and other websites that are contained in web cookies and other tracking technologies like hashed email addresses in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. You can also use the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page, the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page, or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page to opt-out of the use of cookies for interest-based advertising.

4. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information, such as your game history or your game preferences.

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information.

6. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy policy unless otherwise required by law.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

7. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

We take reasonable precautions to secure our servers, including the servers on which we store your data. However, we cannot guarantee that our servers are protected against all current or future attacks or exploits. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our servers is at your own risk. To increase security from your end, you should only access our servers within a secure environment.

We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 13 years of age except in an environment with adult (including teacher) supervision. By using our website, you represent that you are at least 13 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of our website.

9. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.

If you are resident in the European Economic Area and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority.

10. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
