// 03 — THE TIERS
A tier is not different content — it is the same five games drawn from a deeper, less famous slice of the same data. Each tier is its own puzzle, identical for every player.
Household names only. Short surnames, squares 25 players answer, five of the ten leaders to win.
A deeper pool, six- and seven-letter surnames, eight of the ten leaders.
Deep cuts. Surnames up to twelve letters, squares a single player answers, all ten leaders.
// 04 — THE BOARD
Every win scores. Sign in and your points follow you across devices, rank you in the weekly top fifty, and put the top three in line for a 1000, 500 or 250 point bonus. The board resets every week.
Play as a guest if you would rather not — the points just live on that one device.
