How to play

A familiar phrase. A little detective work.

Challenge: pick up to eight letters. Every pick counts, even a correct one. Each matching letter is revealed everywhere it appears.

Know the saying? Tap I know the phrase. You have three whole-phrase attempts, and can use them at any time. After eight letter picks, the keyboard locks, but your remaining phrase attempts are still available. Three incorrect phrase attempts end the round.

The category and meaning are optional clues. Using either marks the result assisted, without spending an attempt. Fewer letters and no clues make a stronger result.

Relaxed: the original rules. Correct letters are free; six incorrect letters or solutions end the round. It saves separately. Viewing Relaxed marks an unfinished Challenge as assisted.

Common wording variants are accepted. Case, spaces, and punctuation do not matter. A repeated guess costs nothing. The daily phrase changes at midnight UTC; practice uses a separate collection.
