Every miss draws you closer.

Your stats

How to play

One real headline a day. One word is missing. Type it in.

You get 3 guesses. Each miss adds a hint and a bit more of the drawing.

Close counts: plurals and small typos are fine.

Mild is the default: topic, clue and drawing.

Spicy: topic and drawing, no clue, exact spelling only, 2 minutes from your first keystroke. Double points. Switch before your first guess.

Weird Wednesday: a true oddity that isn't a headline.

New puzzle at midnight.
