A daily pun game. Here's how it works. You get a clue with two ideas hiding inside it — take "Cats have feelings too," which holds cats on one side and emotions on the other. Somewhere in the gap between them, a pun is waiting. (Ours would be "I'm feline a little fragile today.") You have three minutes to find yours and type as many as you can before the buzzer. Then the judging. Each pun is scored out of ten: on theme, on context, on whether it lands as a phrase, and on sheer cleverness. Hit only one side and you're capped at five. After that you vote on what everyone else came up with, and the votes decide the day's leaderboard. THREE CLUES, THREE KINDS Classic — two subjects collide. Write puns that land on both at once. Situation — a subject meets a setting. Same job: hit both halves. Cryptic — no writing, no scoring, no waiting for anyone else. One exact answer, typed into a row of blanks, the way a crossword works. The answer sounds like a familiar phrase but means something else entirely: COD ALMIGHTY, say, for "God almighty". The numbers tell you the word lengths, wrong guesses cost you nothing but time, and the moment you get it you know. PLAY WITH PEOPLE YOU KNOW Start a private group, share the six-character code, and you get your own daily leaderboard alongside the public one. Points build into a running season table — including ten for solving the cryptic. HALL OF FAME At midnight the best pun for each clue is crowned and kept. Past Winners holds the ones that earned it. FREE AND PREMIUM Everyone plays all three clues, every day. Premium adds a bonus pun after the buzzer and removes the ads.
