DMCA

AnagramSolverFree.com respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. This page explains how to report material on this site that you believe infringes your copyright, and what we do when we receive such a report.

1. Our Position on Copyright

We write our own guides, articles, and tool descriptions. Where we rely on third-party material — most notably tournament word lists — we identify the source on our Dictionary Sources page.

If you believe something here was published without the right to publish it, tell us. We investigate every complete notice we receive, and we remove or disable access to material that is infringing.

2. A Note on Words and Word Lists

Because this is a word-game site, we are frequently asked about the copyright status of the words themselves. Two points are worth stating plainly.

Individual English words are not copyrightable. Neither is the fact that a given word is valid in a given game. Those are facts, and facts are not owned by anyone.

A particular compiled dictionary or tournament word list is a different matter. The selection, arrangement, and editorial judgement that go into compiling one may attract copyright or database protection in some jurisdictions. We take that seriously, we do not redistribute third-party dictionary files, and we do not permit bulk extraction of ours.

If you are a rights holder in a word list and believe our use exceeds what the law allows, write to us using the procedure below. We would rather resolve it by correspondence than by litigation.

3. How to File a Takedown Notice

Send your notice to [email protected] with DMCA Notice in the subject line.

Required elements

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following. A notice missing any of them cannot be acted on, and we will write back asking you to supply what is missing.

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of a person authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are covered by one notice, a representative list of them.
3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it — a full URL is strongly preferred, and a page title alone is usually not enough.
4. Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.

What helps us act faster

• A link to where the original work is published
• The date the original was first published
• A registration number, if the work is registered
• Specific passages, rather than "the whole page"

4. What Happens After You File

We acknowledge complete notices within five business days.

We review the claim. Where it is well founded, we remove or disable access to the material expeditiously. Where it is not — for example, where the material is our own original writing, or the claim concerns uncopyrightable facts — we explain our reasoning to you in writing.

If the material was supplied by a third party, we notify them and give them the opportunity to respond with a counter-notice.

5. Filing a Counter-Notice

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same address with DMCA Counter-Notice in the subject line.

Required elements

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), a counter-notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located — or, if your address is outside the United States, to the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which we may be found — and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we forward it to the original complainant. If they do not notify us within ten business days that they have filed court proceedings seeking to restrain the activity, we may restore the material.

6. Repeat Infringers

We terminate access for anyone who is the subject of repeated, substantiated infringement complaints, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion.

7. Misrepresentation Carries Consequences

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that it was removed by mistake — may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner, or by the service provider.

Takedown notices are legal documents. Do not file one to suppress criticism, to remove a competitor's content, or over material you do not actually own.

8. Other Intellectual Property Complaints

For trademark complaints, or for any other intellectual property concern that is not a copyright matter, email [email protected] with a clear description of the right you hold and the material at issue. Trademark attributions for the games this site supports are set out on our Disclaimer page.

9. This Page Is Not Legal Advice

This page describes our process. It is not legal advice, and it does not substitute for it. If you are unsure whether you hold the rights you intend to assert, or whether a particular use is infringing, consult a qualified lawyer before filing.
