    The board needs script to show.

    Leaderboards take child-friendly names only. A name is three letters, A to Z, like an arcade high score. Rude, unkind or adult names are refused, and any that slip through are taken down. To report one, email hello@oneappcompany.com.

    Your records, best scores, your pet and the three letters you last put on a board are kept in this browser, on this device. A board keeps the letters, the score and when; to stop floods it also keeps a scrambled form of your address, never the address itself.
