How every game works

Six hints, hardest first

Get it on the first hint for 6 points. Every extra hint you need costs a point.

A clock on every hint

You get 12 to 18 seconds per hint, or twice that with the relaxed clock. Leave the page and that hint runs out, so no looking things up.

Stamps, levels and badges

Every answer you find is yours to keep: stamps in your passport, stickers in your field guide. Climb 10 levels in every game and earn badges in bronze, silver and gold.
