About Word Hunter

Word Hunter turns any web page into a vocabulary puzzle. Each time you load a page, a single word from your chosen word list is secretly hidden inside one of the paragraphs. As you read naturally, you look for it. When you spot it, you click it — and the hunt is complete. FEATURES • Curated word lists — Animals, Pokémon, or your own custom list • Hunt Collection — a Pokédex-style grid that fills up as you catch words • Daily streak counter and five achievement badges • Per-word art — emoji for the Animals list, animated sprites for Pokémon • Two visual themes — a clean "Slate" skin and a retro "Pokédex" skin, switchable any time • Multilingual interface — English, Ukrainian, German, and Japanese • Auto-Continue mode — auto-picks the next word after each find, so reload-to-keep-playing just works • Optional hint timer — a small tooltip appears after a configurable delay if you get stuck • Configurable minimum paragraph length — keeps the game out of navigation bars and one-line widgets • Works on any website thanks to the activeTab permission PRIVACY FIRST • Your progress stays 100% local — stored in your browser, never on a server • No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking • No account, no sign-in, no cloud sync • Outbound requests go only to GitHub's raw-content CDN: Pokémon sprite images and a tiny feature-toggle file. No user identifiers are ever sent OPEN SOURCE (MIT) Source code, issues, and discussions: https://github.com/VinderOrnitier/word-hunter Privacy policy: https://github.com/VinderOrnitier/word-hunter/blob/master/PRIVACY.md The Pokémon word list is an unofficial, non-commercial, fan-made feature.
