How to play

A clue mid-round — MNT FJ under Famous Mountains, mic at the ready

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

The reveal — letters drifting back into the consonant skeleton

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.

MOUNT FUJI typed in, waiting on a tap of Guess

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

The home screen — history fully filled in

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

Try it

You’ll know within one puzzle whether it’s for you.
