How scoring works

  • Five-Letter Hunt: six guesses to crack the daily word. Fewer guesses rank higher.
  • Hive: find words using the seven letters; the center letter must appear in every word. Scoring mirrors the NYT Spelling Bee tier system. Reaching the Good tier or higher clears the day.
  • Sudoku: solve the 9×9 grid. Difficulty rotates by weekday — easy on Sun/Mon, medium Tue–Thu, hard Fri/Sat. Faster solves rank higher.
  • Streak: clear a game (or the full pipeline) today and every prior day without a break. Missing a day resets it.
