The unglamorous reason some puzzle sites grow faster than funded competitors: they never ask for an account.
Every account form is a cliff. Most people who hit one never come back. The single biggest lever on our growth was simply not having one.
Friction is where habits die
A daily habit lives or dies in the first three days. Asking someone to create a password before they have played once is the fastest way to lose them. Play first, account never.
Sharing works without login
A result you can send a friend as a link, that they can open and play with no signup, spreads. A result trapped behind a login wall does not. The no-account design is also a distribution design.
We still let you claim a name
You can set a leaderboard name and keep your streak on this device without ever creating an account. When you want cloud sync across devices, that is what PlayJoy Pro is for — but it is an upgrade, never a gate.
FAQ
Will I lose my scores if I clear my browser?
