How the Daily works

  • The clue and the tower both change at midnight on your device clock.
  • Guess as many times as you like. Nothing is scored and nothing is lost by taking a hint.
  • On the tower, the ledger keeps your first climb and records how far you reached even if you did not finish.
  • The field guide covers all eight clue types.
