Terms of Service
By playing Padamz you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the game.
The game
Padamz is a free daily word game in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Marathi, Dutch, English, and Spanish, provided for personal, non-commercial entertainment. A new puzzle appears each day; your progress and statistics are stored only on your device, apart from the scores you post to the leaderboards (see the Privacy Policy).
Padamz is intended for players aged 13 and over. There are no accounts and no sign-up, so we never ask for a date of birth — we simply do not direct the game at younger children.
Fair play on the leaderboards
Leaderboards are for fun. Please use a nickname that is fine for everyone to read. Names containing offensive words are replaced with "Player" automatically, and we may remove names or scores that are offensive or clearly not genuine, without notice. You can delete your own name and scores at any time from the ✦ stats panel.
Ads and purchases
The website may show ads served by Adsterra. The Android and iOS apps show no ads today; we plan to add ads to the apps later, through Meta Audience Network, to keep Padamz free. No part of the game has ever been withheld behind an ad, and none is now. There are no in-app purchases and nothing to buy. How our ad provider handles data, and how to change your ad choices, is set out in the Privacy Policy.
Intellectual property
The Padamz name, design, artwork, and code are the property of the Padamz developer. You may share your results (score grids and challenge links) freely; you may not copy, resell, or redistribute the game itself.
Word meanings
The meanings shown by the Clue button are adapted from Wiktionary — the English Wiktionary, and for Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Malayalam and Odia their own language editions (the Odia one carries the Purnachandra Odia Bhashakosha). That text is used under CC BY-SA 4.0, and our shortened, edited versions of it are available under the same licence. Some Kannada meanings come from V. Krishna's Alar Kannada–English dictionary, used under the Open Database License (ODbL); the Kannada meanings file we derive from it is available under the same licence. Everything else in Padamz is covered by the section above.
Fair use
Please don't attempt to disrupt the game, abuse ad systems, or misuse challenge links. We may update, change, or discontinue any part of the game at any time.
No warranty
Padamz is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee the game will always be available, error-free, or that any particular word will be to your liking. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any damages arising from your use of the game.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect.
