Updates

Pin Drop is now GeoDrop. It is the same daily drop-a-pin geography game: scores, streaks and leaderboards carried over, and the old links still work.

Two new pages: How we make games explains how a daily game is built, how scores are checked and where the questions come from, and this one keeps track of what changed.

Trivia questions now holds 670 questions in 15 topics and brain teasers holds 293 puzzles of 8 kinds, each with its answer tucked under it. None of them gives away a question from a daily game.

Letter Grid deals one grid for everyone each day. Pack It is rebuilt as five tight moving boxes on one two-minute clock, and throwing things in no longer works.

Vowel Stealer now draws from 5,744 phrases.

Quizette and the other timed games with several parts now keep playing between parts, so a clock can't be stopped between questions.

Wordlock, Synonym Sprint, Capital Sprint, Word Search Rush, Vowel Stealer, Sequential Echo, Pour Order, Paint by Nation, Slide Snap, Unpark and Mate in One now give everyone the same round each day, and Halfway and Thimbly are daily games again. Many play on a clock of exactly two minutes. See them all on Daily Games.

Every leaderboard has a Friends only key, your result is stamped with your place among friends, and friends have a page of their own. A friend link now reads as a friend request, and Accept makes the friendship.

Player profiles now show today's boards, a punch card of the days played, records and accolades, and you choose whether to show your accolades.

Grit & Grain is now Pattern Police, with new covers, and Stitch is now Thimbly. The old links still work.

Purrglar is new: a daily heist puzzle for a cat burglar.

Common Ground now has a daily leaderboard, ranked by how many of the day's other players gave the same answers as you.

Marble Maze now asks for every light before the cup, on 132 boards proven to be solvable, and draws no route for you. Teeterly is rebuilt with up to five things on its scales. Dejahue gives you 30 seconds to mix each color.

Each daily game now plays today's round. Yesterday's scores stay on its leaderboard, under Yesterday.

At the end of a run you can now see the answers for that run, in The Daily and the daily games as well.

Quizette is now a machine-graded answer form you fill in with a No. 2 pencil, with a short beat after each question to read the result.

A score is now shown the same way everywhere: a plain number, or a fraction of a fixed maximum. Share lines list your rounds in the order you played them.

The Daily can now deal longer games such as Uncommet and Pin Drop, with questions of their own, never the ones the game itself is showing that day.

Droply is new: a daily word game where you drop thirty letters into a 5 by 6 board and score words in straight lines.

Reloading the page in the middle of a daily game now carries on where you were, instead of scoring 0.

We removed Swipe mode, the feed of short games. The Shop, where you spend Tickets on Finn's gear, takes its place in the header and the phone tab bar.

Older Than You Think now plays twelve pairs with a new look, and each answer waits until you tap Next. On the leaderboards the top three now wear medals, and The Daily's board shows each game's points.

Daily Trivia is now Quizette, Exactly is Sumdinger, Tip the Scales is Teeterly, Paint Chips is Dejahue and Fold is Pleatly. Scores, streaks and leaderboards carried over, and the old links still work.

The Shop gets a gear board with 90 new items, and a Saving for strip on your results shows how close the next one is.

Pin Drop (now GeoDrop) plays eight places a day.

Daily Games now shows the games in one fixed order, the best first, so the set reads the same for everyone every day.

We took Domino Day off the site.

We hid Gauntlets for now, so the site points you to The Daily instead, and took Blob Arena off the site.

You can now report a bug, suggest a feature or tell us about an answer we missed from the feedback form, opened from any game.

Uncommet now gives you 25 seconds a prompt, up from 20.

You no longer need to sign in to appear on a leaderboard. A guest shows under a generated name with a small tag, and signing in lets you pick your own.

Copy That is now Rhythm Rhyme, and every tap plays the sound of the hit it copies. Daily Games also now tell you when they reset on your own clock.

New About and Contact pages say who runs the site and how to reach us.

Our rare answer game got a new name and a new space-age look: Uncommet.

Playing now earns Tickets to spend on Finn, the mascot who is every player's picture: gear, poses and trophies, with a Prize Counter in your account.

After your first sign-in we now ask you to pick a username. The three-game set also got its own name, The Daily, apart from the list of Daily Games.

Game pages now have short how-to-play clips recorded from real play, one way to play, and a card that brings you back to your result on a daily game you have already played.

You can now sign in with Apple as well as Google. Finn and the joystick wordmark became our logo.

We added a dark mode, sign-in for leaderboards, a daily trivia quiz, an untimed Daily IQ and new Putt Rush courses, and more games got a layout made for a big screen.

Pin Drop, Common Ground, Dig Site, Halfway, Rank It, Lost and Found, Darkroom and One Thing Each all arrived.

The site moved to its own address.

We published our privacy policy and terms of use.

New games added chess puzzles, drift racing, a capitals quiz, an aim trainer and an arena shooter, along with games for phones that use tilt and several fingers at once.
