Peeled: Daily Word Puzzle

A paragraph appears, written the way an encyclopedia would write it. Almost every word is blacked out. Under the ink is a subject - a city, an invention, a dish, an animal, a game - and your job is to name it. Tap a black box and that word comes back. You get seven. Spend them well: one verb in the right place can give the whole thing away, and a wasted one leaves you staring at the same wall of ink. Type your answer into the letter tiles along the bottom. They are always visible, so you always know how many letters you are looking for. Guess as often as you like. Wrong guesses cost nothing. One puzzle a day. The same one for everybody. HOW IT WORKS - Read the paragraph. The words still showing are your only clue. - Tap a black box to uncover that word. Seven reveals per puzzle. - Every two reveals earn a hint, up to two. A hint uncovers one letter of the answer and you pick which one. - Type into the tiles whenever you want. The puzzle ends the moment they are right. - Stuck? Give up and the whole text opens. The streak resets, but you still get to read it. - At the end: your reveals, hints, guesses and time, your streak, and your lifetime numbers. - Share a result line with no spoilers in it. WHAT THE PUZZLES ARE ABOUT Ten categories in rotation: Geography, History, Science, Nature, Technology, Arts, Culture, Food, Sports and Games. Baklava one day, the Rosetta Stone the next, Tetris after that. Every paragraph is written for Peeled. Nothing is scraped, nothing is padded. PAST PUZZLES Missed a day? The last seven days stay open in the Past puzzles calendar at no cost. Older days are locked for now; one payment will open the whole archive in a later update, once and for good. There is no subscription, and there is nothing to buy inside this version. NO ADS, NO ACCOUNT, NO INTERNET NEEDED There are no ads in Peeled and there never will be. There is nothing to sign up for and no profile to make. Every puzzle ships inside the app, so it works on a plane, underground, and anywhere with no signal. Your progress and your stats are kept on your iPhone and nowhere else. Peeled collects nothing about you and sends nothing anywhere. Three themes to read in: Paper, Peel and Noir. A daily reminder if you want one, off if you don't. Sound you can switch off. Peel back the words.
