## What is DinoWire?

DinoWire is your daily dinosaur companion.

DAILY DIG — A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY
Dig out the mystery dinosaur in five guesses. Every guess reveals how its group, period, diet, size and region compare to the answer. Build a streak, track your guess distribution, and share your result — a new dig opens every day.

DINODEX — YOUR DINOSAUR ENCYCLOPEDIA
Browse 159 prehistoric species from Microraptor to Argentinosaurus. Pronunciations, name meanings, size stats, diets, fossil locations and a "Did you know?" fact for every dinosaur. Search and filter by period or diet.

DINO OF THE WEEK
A featured species every week, with a daily dinosaur fact on your Today screen.

LATEST DISCOVERIES
Original coverage of what's happening in palaeontology right now — every story comes with a summary and "Why It Matters" analysis written for DinoWire, readable entirely in the app. Save articles to read later and get notified when big discoveries break.

MADE FOR iPHONE
Native notifications, haptics, offline bookmarks and share integration. Free, no ads, no account needed.

Whether you're six or sixty, if dinosaurs still make you stop and stare — DinoWire is for you.
