How to play

Your daily challenge

A daily edition contains seven questions. Everyone playing that edition sees the same prompts. Read the question carefully, type an answer, and check it. You can reveal a hint or skip a question. A rejected guess does not cost points; try another answer or report a correction.

What earns points?

Accepted answers have editorial difficulty scores from 1 to 100. These are curated game values, not measurements of how many players know an answer. A skipped question earns zero. Your result is the sum of your accepted answers, with a maximum of 700 points per daily edition.

Spelling and aliases

We ignore capitalization, spaces, punctuation and accents when comparing Latin-script answers. We also accept explicitly recorded aliases. We do not use broad fuzzy matching: a similar-looking word can mean something different. The accepted set is tied to the edition version. If an answer is missing, use the correction form below the question.

When does a new challenge appear?

New editions become available at 00:00 UTC, regardless of your device timezone. We prepare and review editions in advance. If a new edition is unavailable, the site says so instead of relabeling an old challenge.

Progress and sharing

Daily progress is saved in this browser on this device. Clearing browser storage or switching devices will not carry that progress with you. A shared result includes the date, score and result squares, without answers. There is no competitive leaderboard.

Practice and the archive

Unlimited practice draws from already published editions, never tomorrow’s questions. It avoids recently shown question IDs where the available pool allows. The archive links to dated games and their explanations. Answers are available on the guide pages, so choose whether you want hints before playing.

Corrections and editions

Published question content is versioned. A correction creates a new edition version with an editorial note. Your existing game remains tied to its original version unless that version has been withdrawn. We may withdraw content that contains a significant error.
