Oddly Allowed: Daily Puzzle

Dot has a secret rule. Test items, read the clues and crack it. Play solo offline, then race up to five friends or climb your private league. Free, no ads.

Dot has a secret rule. Can you crack it? Test items, read the clues and guess the rule in your own words. A fresh mystery lands at midnight UK time. Free. No ads. Solo and daily puzzles play offline. No account needed.

Dot, your friendly robot rule-keeper, decides what goes in the shopping basket. Some things are allowed in the basket. Others get put back on the shelf. Your job is to work out why.

You don't need trivia. Just a curious mind and a good hunch.

HOW TO PLAY • Pick an item. Dot tells you if it's allowed in the basket or put back on the shelf. • Follow the clues. Compare what's in and what's out. Test a theory, then test another. • Guess the rule. Say it your way. Dot knows lots of ways to say the same idea.

Fewer tests and hints mean a better score.

THE DAILY MYSTERY Everyone gets the same mystery, and it changes at midnight UK time. One go a day, so make it count. Then share your result with the spoiler-free Share Result.

PLAY OFFLINE No wifi? No problem. The solo game, the daily puzzle and your saved progress work without a connection, so it's perfect for the train, a flight or a quiet corner. Race Dot, Friends, Leagues, sign-in and purchases need the internet.

RACE DOT Start a private room, share the eight-character code and race up to five friends. Five quick 90-second rounds, a shared clue every 15 seconds, and nobody sees anyone else's guesses. No chat, no strangers, no public matchmaking. Hosting needs an account; friends join as guests.

FRIENDS AND LEAGUES Pick a username, add friends and play in your own private league. See who comes out on top, get friend activity alerts with quiet hours, and invite friends straight into Race Dot.
