About this game

THE DAILY 6
Matchsticks · Interlock · Gridlock · PinPad · Down You Go · Wordnado

Six games. Six new challenges every day. Welcome to The Daily 6.

Build your streak. Break your streak. Come back tomorrow and try again. Compete with friends, climb the ranks, and see who can beat The Hardest.

WORDNADO
Ten letters. Two minutes. Find everything you can before the tornado tears the board apart and hands you a new one. Eight rounds, one running score.

MATCHSTICKS
One word in the dark. You get limited strikes and no second chances.

GRIDLOCK
Fill the mirror grid. Every letter you place constrains the next one.

DOWN YOU GO
Revived from the 1951 DuMont Television Network broadcast. Work down the clues, one wrong answer and you are out.

INTERLOCK
Sixteen words. Four hidden groups. The overlaps are deliberate.

PINPAD
Crack the code. Pure deduction, no guessing your way through.

HOW IT WORKS

Play any game as a guest. No sign-up wall, no account required to start.

Create an account when you want your streaks saved across devices, your name on the daily leaderboards, and your results tracked over time.

Invite friends. Compare results head to head. Join a league and see where you land against everyone else playing the same puzzle you are.

New puzzles land every day at midnight Central.

THE CLUB

An optional membership that adds exclusive avatars, extended stats, and supports continued development of the games.

A portion of Club proceeds goes toward brain health research. This one is personal. These games exist because keeping your mind working matters.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Word game players who finished the easy ones and want something that actually pushes back. If you want a puzzle you solve on the first try, this is not it.
