Purpose of this Website and Fair Use

It operates strictly as an educational and entertainment tool for players who wish to practice their skills, try non-standard grid sizes, and access an archive of past puzzles.
This site is operated under the principles of "Fair Use" as outlined in United States copyright law, which allows for the limited use of copyrighted material without acquiring permission from the rights holders for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research.

We strongly encourage all our users to play the official Wend game at linkedin.com/games/wend.
Algorithmic Content Disclaimer
The puzzles on Wend Game are generated procedurally by algorithms referencing large open-source English dictionaries. Due to the mathematical complexity of placing crossing words on dense grids, our algorithms run independently to fill the board. While we apply strict blacklists to prevent offensive, profane, or inappropriate words from being explicitly generated as puzzle answers, the random arrangement of letters on the remaining grid spaces may inadvertently spell out unintended words.
Wend Game assumes no liability or responsibility for any randomly generated content that a user may interpret as offensive. Users engage with procedurally generated puzzles at their own discretion.
