How scoring works

  • Accuracy first. Each game measures how much of the puzzle you got right (letters mapped, groups found, cells filled, words formed).
  • Time multiplier. Solve at or under the baseline time → ×1.5. Twice the baseline → ×1.0. Four times or more → ×0.3 floor.
  • No hard timer. Take as long as you need — the score just drops. Walking away mid-puzzle resumes where you left off.
  • Clear = 450+ / 1500. Hit that on all five today to extend the pipeline streak.
A note on cognitive training. This pipeline trains working memory for letters and letter-pattern recognition on the specific tasks — that’s what the research supports. It is not a dementia-prevention or IQ-boost product. 15–25 minutes a day, four to five days a week, is the sweet spot per the cognitive-training literature.
