You can play Letter Wars fully as a guest. In guest mode nothing leaves your device: your coins, cosmetics, settings, achievements and progress live only in the app's local storage and are removed if you delete the app.
Online features (friends, the global leaderboard and online matches) use Apple iCloud (CloudKit). If you sign in and pick a username, the app stores:
This data is keyed to an anonymous iCloud identifier generated by Apple. The app never receives — and cannot see — your real name, email address, Apple ID, contacts or location.
Live multiplayer uses Apple's Game Center, operated by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy. The app only uses it to connect players in a match.
Coin packs are sold as in‑app purchases through the App Store. Payment is handled entirely by Apple — the app never sees your payment details. Coins and everything you unlock with them are stored on your device.
Open Settings ▸ Delete Account inside the app. This permanently removes from iCloud: your profile (username and statistics), your friend code, the friendships and reports you created, your matchmaking entry, the online matches you started and every move you made. Local data (settings, coins, cosmetics) is removed by deleting the app from your device. The app uses no servers other than Apple's iCloud — no separate copy exists anywhere else.
One honest caveat: a few records are owned by other players and technically can't be modified from your device — an ex‑friend's own friend‑list entry naming you (it clears automatically the next time their app refreshes) and matches that an opponent started, which may keep your username in that player's match history.
Letter Wars is a word game suitable for a general audience. It has no ads, no free‑text chat (only fixed emoji reactions), and collects no personal information beyond an optional self‑chosen username. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children; a child can play fully offline in guest mode.
If the app's data practices change, this page will be updated and the "last updated" date above revised.
