The basics
Every day a new puzzle goes live at midnight. You get one clue and five attempts to guess the hidden word or phrase. Use your guesses wisely — each wrong answer unlocks a new hint to help you zero in on the answer.
-
1Read the clueA new theme is revealed each day. The first clue is always visible — it's indirect, but it gives you enough to make a smart first guess.
-
2Type your answer and submitType your best guess in the input field and hit Submit (or press Enter). Capitalization doesn't matter — just spell it out.
-
3Wrong guess? You unlock a hintEach wrong guess unlocks the next hint — starting with a different angle on the answer, then a category label, then increasingly direct clues that nearly spell it out.
-
4You have 5 attemptsFive guesses total. Use them carefully. After the fifth wrong answer, the puzzle ends and the answer is revealed.
-
5Solve it to keep your streak aliveSolve the puzzle and your streak grows by one. Miss a day or run out of guesses and your streak resets to zero. Come back tomorrow to start a new one.

6Share your resultAfter finishing, tap "Share Result" to copy your emoji grid to the clipboard. The grid shows how you did without spoiling the answer for anyone else.
