In Afrikaans: Wantasaur gebruik ’n paar oopbron-programme en -datastelle, met dank aan hulle makers. Hierdie bladsy lys hulle met hul lisensies. Die lisensies self is in Engels.

Wantasaur’s own code, design, mascot and artwork, and its games, puzzles and word content (every secret word, spelling word and sentence) are made by Blue Aurora Ventures LLC. Some parts come from open-source projects, which we use under the licences below. Thank you to their authors.

Secret word is Wantasaur’s own word-guessing game. Wantasaur is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by the makers of any other word game. Other names and trademarks belong to their owners.
