Terms of use

Using the site

The First Word You See is provided free of charge for personal, educational and commercial use. By using it you agree to these terms.

Your puzzles

The words, headlines and meanings you enter are yours, and so are the images you export. You may post, print and sell them. You are responsible for what you write and for having the right to use any names or trademarks you include.

Our content

The ready-made word packs, meanings, templates and guides are ours. You are welcome to use the packs and templates in puzzles you make and share. Please do not republish the library or the guides wholesale.

Acceptable use

Do not use the site to create content that harasses people, promotes hatred or breaks the law, and do not attempt to disrupt the service. Shared links can be opened by anyone who has them.

Entertainment only

“First word you see” puzzles are games. Nothing on this site is psychological, medical, financial or professional advice.

No warranty

The site is provided as is. We work to keep it accurate and available, but we cannot promise it will be error-free, and we are not liable for losses arising from its use. Because saved puzzles live in your browser, clearing your browser data removes them; export a backup from My puzzles if they matter to you.

Changes

We may update these terms as the site evolves. The date above shows the latest revision.
