How the daily works

  • Same puzzle worldwide. Every player gets the exact same AI guardian and the exact same secret password for the day. Solve it before your friends.
  • One attempt only. No retries. You either crack the password today, or wait until tomorrow's reset.
  • Resets at UTC midnight. A new archetype, a new password, every day.
  • The hard tier. Daily challenges always come from the prestige roster — bouncer, judge, philosopher, algorithm. The toughest archetypes guard the daily word.
  • Shareable result card. Win or lose, you get a result card with your time and message count to share — a friend can click and play the same puzzle in seconds.

Tips for the daily

  1. Read the first reply twice.The opening line is the densest hint of the game — every word the AI uses is picked.
  2. Don't burn turns guessing single letters. The hard tier doesn't reveal letters early. Spend your first 3-4 turns mapping the semantic field.
  3. If you stall, change register.Switch from logic to roleplay, or from English to French. The hardest archetypes reward creative pivots.
  4. Daily archetypes are mean. The daily roster is bouncer, judge, philosopher, algorithm, guru, influencer. Each one inverts whatever approach you try — go meta.
  5. Type the exact word. Typos within one letter count. Don't waste a turn on near-misses.

FAQ

Is the daily really the same for everyone?

Yes. The password and archetype are deterministic from the date string — same word, same AI, same hint progression for every player on Earth that day. Your friend in another timezone gets the exact same puzzle.

What happens if I lose the daily?

You're locked out for the day. Come back at UTC midnight for the next one. In the meantime you can still play unlimited solo runs against any of the 20 archetypes.

Can I see past dailies?

Past dailies aren't archived as pages yet (coming soon). Your own history lives in the History tab once you're logged in.

Is the daily harder than regular play?

Yes — daily challenges always come from the hard tier. You'll face a bouncer, judge, philosopher, algorithm, guru or influencer — never the friendlier easy/medium archetypes.
