Terms of service
Last updated 8 November 2026
These are the rules for using Wordlock, the two-player word game. They are short, and written to be read.
1 · Agreeing to these terms
By using Wordlock you agree to these terms and to the privacy policy at wordlock.codewithflash.com/privacy. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
2 · Who can play
You must be at least 13 years old. If the law where you live needs a parent or guardian to agree for someone your age, they must agree to these terms for you.
3 · Free, with ads
Wordlock is free. There is nothing to buy inside it. Ads, supplied by Google AdMob, pay for it. We do not choose each ad, and an ad that takes you to another app or website takes you to its own terms, not ours.
4 · What you write
Your display name, the topics you make up, the topics you ask for and the letters you play are seen by the other player, and some are seen by us. Do not use them to:
- insult, threaten or harass anyone;
- post hateful, sexual or violent words;
- pretend to be someone else;
- share anyone’s private details, including your own;
- break the law.
We may remove anything that does, and you keep any rights you have in what you write.
5 · Playing fair
Play through the app as it is. Do not try to break into, overload or get around our servers; do not use bots or scripts to play or to make games; do not guess other people’s join codes; and do not copy, change or resell the app.
6 · Quill and the Computer
Quill, the referee you can ask to settle a word, and the Computer you can play against are run by software, and software gets words wrong sometimes. A ruling from Quill is final inside the game, but it is not a promise that a word is or is not real.
7 · Streaks and stickers
Daily Lock streaks and stickers are for fun. They have no money value and cannot be sold or swapped. They belong to this install of the app, so deleting it, or changing phones, can lose them. We may change how they work.
8 · Our app
Wordlock — its name, look, drawings, sounds and code — belongs to us. We let you use it for your own, non-commercial play, on any device you own or control. The terms of the store you got it from apply too: Google Play’s, or Apple’s standard licence for apps from the App Store.
9 · Changes, and stopping
We may change Wordlock, add or remove features, or stop it, and a game in progress may end when we do. We may stop you using the app if you break these terms. You can stop at any time by deleting it.
10 · No promises
Wordlock is given as it is. We work to keep it running, but we cannot promise it will always be there, be free of mistakes, or that a notification will arrive on time.
11 · Limits on what we owe
As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for any loss that comes from using Wordlock or from not being able to use it, including a lost game, streak or sticker. Nothing here takes away rights that the law where you live gives you and that cannot be signed away.
12 · Changes to these terms
If these terms change, the date at the top changes with them. Using Wordlock after that means you accept the new terms.
