The Bouncer

A free daily word puzzle. Every word is a guest. Only some of them get in — your job is to work out why.

How to play

  1. Study the guest list: a few words already sorted IN, a few sorted OUT.
  2. Work out the hidden rule that separates them.
  3. Sort each new guest IN or OUT, one at a time.
  4. You have three lives. Three wrong calls and the night is over.

A fresh puzzle every day, with a harder one on Saturdays.
