CIPHER: A Daily Word Puzzle

Six words. One keyword. Every day. A new themed word puzzle unlocks at midnight, and all week long your answers build toward one hidden word.

Six words. One keyword. Every day.

CIPHER is a daily word puzzle that builds and connects as the week goes on. Each day brings a new theme and six scrambled words. Unscramble them to reveal their key letters, then use those letters to crack the day's keyword.

Every day lifts a letter to the week. By Sunday, you will have seven, and they spell a hidden week word. Solve the daily puzzles, then put it all together.

HOW IT WORKS • Each day has a theme and six jumbled words. • Every word you solve reveals one key letter. • Unscramble the six key letters to find the day's keyword. • Each keyword gives up one letter to the week word. • Solve all seven days, then crack the week word.

A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY Puzzles unlock at midnight Eastern, one per day, every day. Themes run from the everyday to the delightfully specific, and every week brings something new.

KEEP YOUR STREAK Solve each day's puzzle on its day to build your streak. Share your results with a spoiler-free card that shows how you did without giving away a single answer.

NEVER MISS A WEEK Missed a day? Past days in the current week are always open, and every earlier week lives in the archive.
