Bug: the visual hints aren't displayed on browsers in private mode or that use containers

Bug: the visual hints aren't displayed on browsers in private mode or that use containers, various ad blockers, Ghostery, etc. Possible cause is that a JavaScript or TypeScript library requires telemetry reporting, gets blocked, and impedes game progress. Clicking and getting words wrong works.

Browsers tested:

• Firefox armored to the teeth with uBlock, Ghostery, Containers, everything that prevents telemetry out, in regular or private modes
• Stock Brave browser, no plug-ins, private browser window
• Stock Safari browser, no plug-ins, private browser window

Operating system: macOS Sonoma 14.5

Localization: en_US

Thanks and cheers!

Thanks for the report.

I'm not able to test on macOS but I'm trying a private window in Brave on Windows and am not seeing any issues.

Can you be more specific about what you mean by visual hints? Do you mean the "A ... J" hints inside the tiles? Or the keyboard? Or the orange and blue? By "impedes game progress" do you mean you're unable to submit guesses or that the game won't respond in some way? Some pictures or a video would be helpful.

The only thing I can imagine being blocked is the analytics, but that should not interfere at all with the gameplay or visuals.
