Terms of Service

Last updated November 13, 2026

By using Chainleys you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

The service

Chainleys is an online word puzzle game. The daily puzzle is free. Chainleys Pro is an optional paid subscription that unlocks extra features such as endless mode, the puzzle archive, custom chains and starting leagues.

Your account

• You must be at least 13 years old. If you're under 18, ask a parent or guardian before subscribing.
• Keep your password safe. You're responsible for activity on your account.
• Give us accurate information, and use one account per person.

Subscriptions and billing

Pro is billed monthly in US dollars through Stripe and renews automatically until cancelled. See our cancellation and refund policy. We may change the price with at least 30 days' notice; the new price applies from your next renewal, and you can cancel before then.

Acceptable use

Don't cheat the leaderboards with scripts or bots, attack or overload the service, or post names, custom chains or league names that are hateful, harassing, sexual, or that infringe others' rights. We may remove content or suspend accounts that break these rules.

Your content

You keep ownership of the custom chains and names you create. You give us permission to store and display them to the people you share them with, and to show your name and results on leaderboards and challenge links.

Our content

The game, design and puzzles belong to Chainleys. You can share your own results and challenge links freely, but please don't copy or resell the puzzles or the service.

No guarantees

We work hard to keep Chainleys running, but it's provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or lost-profit damages, and our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the issue arose.

Changes

We may update these terms. If the changes are significant we'll tell you on the site or by email. Continuing to use Chainleys after a change means you accept it.
