Chain Forge
Each puzzle is a chain of card names where the last word of one card starts the name of the next. Some entries in the chain are revealed as clues; you fill in the hidden ones as fast as you can.
- Scored up to 10,000 points, weighted by how quickly you complete the chain.
- The timer starts the moment you click Begin Puzzle. It pauses if you navigate away, but it never resets so you can always finish a puzzle you started earlier that day.
Specter
A hidden card is described through up to seven progressive clues, revealed one at a time. Type a guess after each clue.
- Guessing correctly on an earlier clue scores higher; the formula is
(8 - clues used) x 1,000. - Guesses are checked as you submit them, so you always know immediately whether you found the card.
Art Sleuth
A card’s illustration is shown zoomed in and gradually zooms out across five stages. Guess the card name after each stage.
- Guessing correctly on an earlier stage scores higher; the formula is
(6 - stage used) x 2,000.
Leaderboard
The Leaderboard tab ranks players separately for Chain Forge, Specter, and Art Sleuth, plus a Combined ranking across all three. Toggle between Daily standings and All-Time totals.
Playing Past Puzzles
By default, you can only play the current day’s puzzle for each game. PRO members get a calendar on each game’s start screen for jumping back to any previous day’s puzzle they haven’t finished. Scores from past puzzles still count toward your all-time leaderboard total.
Tip
Chain Forge, Specter, and Art Sleuth all reset at the start of a new day (Pacific time), so there’s a fresh puzzle to solve every day.
