I've had the same with my word game. People will report a bug and then I find out they are on some ad-ridden copycat. For my app it's reached multiple levels. One of the app thieves has embeded another app thief. https://imgur.com/a/0qW0y1r https://imgur.com/a/0qW0y1r The most frustrating thing for me is fucking Google. Their search results are so bad these days I can't get my game to the top even though thousands play it every day and link to it on social media. I'm at the top of Bing, DDG, Kagi. These sites run links to each other and Google's dumb algo loves it. Usually they don't use iFrame but proxy the whole request. Since using CloudFlare as my CDN a few of the app thieves have been defeated.

Yeah, my experience is also that they're mostly proxies and iframes are a minority. Some serve a cached version of the site (since like most of these, my sites are static - they do update to get the updated answer lists though, since I manually set the puzzles a bit in advance.) Some of the sites that host their own cached copy even go out of the way to remove the credits and contact info from the page.
