About this game

Every day, one real and genuinely odd news story lands on the front page. Your job: write the funniest headline for it.

Headlines is a daily word game with a newspaper twist. Langurs hired to scare monkeys off a city subway, a kangaroo ambushing a jogging politician, a man who auctioned his whole life online: read the story, find the angle that makes you laugh, and file your headline before the presses roll.

HOW TO PLAY
• Read today's story: a short summary of who, what, where, and the odd detail that makes it funny. Open the full article if you want more to work with.
• Write your headline, plus an optional subtitle. Pun on a name, play it deadpan, or find an unexpected angle. You get one entry per day, so make it count.
• Get the verdict. An AI editor scores your headline from 1 to 10, weighing how funny it is and how well it fits the real story, and tells you why.
• Compare and vote. Read the headlines other players filed today, vote for your favorites, and see where yours ranks on the leaderboard.
• Come back tomorrow. A fresh edition every morning, with an optional daily reminder so you never miss one.

FEATURES
• A new real news story every day, picked for being weird, funny, and full of material
• Instant scoring and feedback from an AI judge that rewards real wordplay
• A daily leaderboard of the funniest headlines from players everywhere
