Parolix: Daily Word Game

THE DAILY RIDDLE GAZETTE — HOT OFF THE PRESS EVERY DAY

How sharp is your vocabulary? Every morning the press prints a fresh mystery word: crack it in a few tries, defend your streak and climb the one world leaderboard. Typewriters, wax seals and gold coins: welcome to the newsroom.

• THE WORD OF THE DAY A new puzzle every day, and the rarity of the word is the same for the whole world, in every language. Browse the archive of past editions and defend your run: the Almanac keeps your wins, streaks and stats.

• ENDLESS MODE Chain solutions with no end in sight, pile up coins and beat your record. Pick how rare the words should be — from everyday to archaic — or let chance decide, and switch on the lock to double your coins.

• ONE GLOBAL LEADERBOARD, WITH PRIZES A single ranking for the whole planet, all-time and weekly: the top 50 each week win gold coins, up to 1000 for first place. Pick your typesetter pen name and climb the Hall of Fame.

• 25 COLLECTABLE EDITIONS Dress the paper your way: a golden gala edition, source code in terminal green, Valentine's, Halloween and New Year's Eve specials… Living backdrops with snow, petals and glyph rain, animated banners, themed keyboards and confetti. Seasonal editions only go to print in their time of year: truly collectable.

• THE PATENT OFFICE Spend your coins on upgrades: ink multipliers, print-shop discounts, permanent extra rows and in-game hints for when the riddle bites back.

• THE PROOFREADER A sharp assistant that reasons from your own clues: it pins a letter down when only one square can hold it, and shows which letters are still possible inside every open square.

• 17 LANGUAGES, ONE GAME English, Italian, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Romanian, Polish, Indonesian, Dutch, Turkish, Hungarian, Finnish, Czech, Filipino, Malay and Croatian. Every language has its own dictionary of real words, hand-picked from nouns, verbs and adjectives: no acronyms, no odd inflections.

• CHALLENGE A FRIEND Make up a word, send the link and see who cracks it in fewer tries. Free, no account needed.
