Capital Cities
BJNG.
Read the consonants. Look at the category. You’ll say Beijing before you mean to.
That’s the game.
The category does the work
Without it, MNT FJ is five letters and a guess. With it, you can almost see the snow.
Shakespeare Plays. Jazz Standards. Periodic Elements. The category narrows the field to a few dozen possibilities. From there, your memory is faster than any dictionary.
Eight a day. That’s the deal.
A new Daily Challenge arrives every morning.
Eight clues, one category.
Long enough to wake your brain up; short enough to fit between a coffee and a meeting.
Type your answer in, or just say it out loud.
A year, laid out like a garden
Every finished challenge becomes an eight-petal flower — one petal per clue.
Scroll back through your history and you find a slow drift of flowers and little traces you left behind.
It isn’t a streak counter. It’s a record of showing up.
Miss a day? The flowers that are already there don’t wilt.
The garden keeps growing every day.
Tomorrow
A new challenge arrives tomorrow morning.
What it isn’t
- No accounts. Your history lives on your phone.
- No ads. Ever.
- No notification spam. If you turn them on, notifications come only when there’s a new challenge.
- No spelling traps. Caps, dashes, accents, “is this one word or two” — if you know it, it counts.
Try it
You’ll know within one puzzle whether it’s for you.
