Questions
Where do the riddles come from?
We wrote them ourselves for this site, with their hints and explanations. You will not find this exact set anywhere else, and new ones are added from time to time.
When does the riddle change?
At midnight on your device’s clock. Your streak is kept until the end of the next day, so you have the whole day to solve today’s riddle.
Will a riddle repeat?
Not until every riddle in the collection has had its day. The order is fixed by the date, so it is the same on every phone.
How does the answer check work?
Type your answer in your own words. Small differences do not matter: capital letters, “a” or “the”, plurals, spaces and punctuation are ignored, and many answers accept more than one wording. If you are sure you are right but it says no, press Answer to compare.
Is my data private?
Yes. Everything happens inside your own browser: nothing you type or choose is uploaded to us or anyone else.
Is it free?
Completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many times you use it. Light ads keep the site running.
