How to play

Every day at midnight UTC a new long word appears, scrambled, and it's identical for every player on Earth.

You get four guesses. Each wrong guess reveals one more leading letter as a hint.

One attempt per day — solve it or wear the zero.

Scoring

• Solving on guess 1, 2, 3, or 4 scores 100, 70, 40, or 20 points. Failing scores 0.
• Scores go to a daily leaderboard that resets with the word.

Tips

• The first guess is worth triple the last — spend real time on it before committing.
• Hunt for suffixes first (-TION, -ING, -NESS); locking the ending usually collapses the rest.
• The word pool is large enough that no word repeats within a year, so don't bother memorizing.

Frequently asked questions

When does the new word arrive?

Midnight UTC, same moment for everyone.

Can I play yesterday's word?

No — one word, one day, one attempt. That's what makes the morning coffee version of this game so dangerous.
