How It Works
Five puzzles. One shot a day. Every second and every decision counts towards your score.
The Daily Challenge
Five puzzles released every day at midnight, each harder than the last.
Anagrams, cryptic clues, hidden words, word ladders, and compound words
Sequences, ciphers, mental maths tricks, and digit logic
Deduction grids, truth/liar, scheduling, and categorisation
Odd-one-out, sequences, analogies, and spatial reasoning
Lateral thinking, probability, riddles, and meta puzzles
Each slot rotates through multiple sub-variants, so the Word Puzzle might be an anagram today and a cryptic clue tomorrow. Same five categories, different flavour every day.
Speed Bonus
Solve fast for up to +50% of a puzzle's base value.
No-Hint Bonus
Resist the temptation for extra points.
Solve without revealing the hint to earn +25% of the puzzle's base value.
Using the hint still earns you the base points and speed bonus — you only lose the no-hint bonus.
Streak Multiplier
Come back every day. Your whole daily score gets multiplied.
