Terms of use

Last updated: September 2026
By using Crabble you agree to these terms. They are deliberately short; the goal is a fair game, not a legal maze.

Play fair

No cheating tools, no engine assistance in human games, no harassment of other players, no automated accounts. We may suspend accounts that break the game for everyone else.

Your account

You are responsible for what happens under your account. Keep your sign-in credentials to yourself. Anonymous play creates a device-local profile you can lose by clearing browser data — that is the trade for playing without an account.

The service

Crabble is provided as-is, with no uptime or fitness guarantees. Ratings and leaderboards are maintained in good faith and may be adjusted to correct abuse. We may change or stop features — if we shut down, paid features (if any ever exist) would be handled fairly and in advance.

Content & ownership

You keep ownership of what you create (usernames, imported games). Word lists are used under their respective open licenses. Crabble's code and branding belong to the project.
