+# Security Guidelines - Crossword App
+
+## 🔒 Environment Variables & API Keys
+
+### ✅ **Secure Practices Implemented**
+
+#### **1. Environment Files**
+- ✅ `.env` files are gitignored
+- ✅ `.env.example` template provided
+- ✅ No real secrets in source code
+- ✅ Automatic setup script provided
+
+#### **2. API Key Management**
+
+**Local Development:**
+```bash
+# 1. Set up environment
+./setup-env.sh
+
+# 2. Edit .env with your real key
+HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY=hf_your_real_key_here
+
+# 3. .env is automatically gitignored
+```
+
+**Production Deployment:**
+- **HuggingFace Spaces**: Use Settings → Environment Variables
+- **Railway/Heroku**: Use config vars
+- **Docker**: Pass as runtime environment variables
+
+#### **3. Default Security**
+- 🛡️ **Graceful fallback** when API keys missing
+- 🛡️ **No crashes** on missing configuration
+- 🛡️ **Warning messages** instead of errors
+- 🛡️ **Safe defaults** for all settings
+
+### 🚨 **What NOT to Do**
+
+❌ Never commit real API keys:
+```javascript
+// ❌ NEVER DO THIS
+const apiKey = 'hf_real_key_here';
+```
+
+❌ Never hardcode secrets:
+```javascript
+// ❌ NEVER DO THIS
+const config = {
+  huggingfaceKey: 'hf_abcd1234...'
+};
+```
+
+❌ Never share .env files:
+```bash
+# ❌ NEVER DO THIS
+git add .env
+git commit -m "added config"
+```
+
+### ✅ **Safe Patterns**
+
+✅ Always use environment variables:
+```javascript
+// ✅ SAFE
+const apiKey = process.env.HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY;
+```
+
+✅ Always check for existence:
+```javascript
+// ✅ SAFE WITH FALLBACK
+if (!apiKey || apiKey === 'hf_xxxxxxxxxx') {
+  console.warn('API key not configured, using fallback');
+  return this.fallbackMethod();
+}
+```
+
+✅ Always use templates:
+```bash
+# ✅ SAFE
+cp .env.example .env
+# Edit .env with real values
+```
+
+## 📁 **File Security**
+
+### **Gitignore Coverage**
+```gitignore
+# Environment files
+.env
+.env.local
+.env.*.local
+
+# Security files
+*.key
+*.pem
+.secret
+secrets/
+```
+
+### **File Structure**
+```
+backend/
+├── .env.example          # ✅ Safe template (committed)
+├── .env                  # 🔒 Real values (gitignored)
+├── .env.backup           # 🔒 Backup (gitignored)
+└── setup-env.sh          # ✅ Setup script (committed)
+```
+
+## 🚀 **Deployment Security**
+
+### **HuggingFace Spaces**
+1. Go to Space Settings
+2. Add Environment Variable: `HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY`
+3. Set value to your real API key
+4. Restart space
+
+### **Docker Deployment**
+```bash
+# Runtime environment variable
+docker run -e HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY=hf_your_key app
+```
+
+### **CI/CD Pipelines**
+```yaml
+# GitHub Actions example
+env:
+  HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY }}
+```
+
+## 🔍 **Security Verification**
+
+### **Pre-commit Checklist**
+- [ ] No real API keys in code
+- [ ] .env in .gitignore
+- [ ] Only .env.example committed
+- [ ] All secrets use environment variables
+- [ ] Fallback mechanisms working
+
+### **Testing Security**
+```bash
+# Test without API key
+unset HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY
+npm run dev
+# Should work with fallback
+
+# Test with invalid key
+export HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY="invalid"
+npm run dev
+# Should gracefully fallback
+```

+- [Environment Variable Best Practices](https://12factor.net/config)
+- [Git Security Guidelines](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure)
+
+## 🆘 **If API Key Gets Exposed**
+
+1. **Immediately revoke** the key at https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens
+2. **Generate new key** with appropriate permissions
+3. **Update** all deployment environments
+4. **Check git history** for any committed secrets
+5. **Consider repository security scan**
+

+
+**Remember**: Security is a process, not a destination. Always be vigilant! 🛡️
