Clear rules.
How your daily challenge comes together, and what your result means.
Words
Two English-language questions using anagrams, clues and word meanings.
Patterns
Two questions about spotting a rule and working out what follows.
One shared challenge each day
Brisk combines puzzle templates with a stored collection of words, clues and meanings. The date determines the daily selection. The challenge is saved when it is first opened, so everyone gets the same questions for that day.
Questions are generated from these rules and word lists; a new set is not individually written by a human each morning. Each question has four answer choices and one intended answer.
How we check the content
Automated checks cover repeatable daily selection, distinct answer choices and valid anagrams. We also test the game’s scoring, saving and account flows. These checks help catch mistakes, but language can still be ambiguous. Your feedback helps identify unclear wording and answers.
After a round, open “Your answers, explained” to see the intended answer and reasoning. Updates to future puzzle editions preserve earlier rounds and their explanations.
Accuracy first, then speed
The leaderboard sorts by the number of correct answers, then by elapsed time. A six-out-of-six result ranks above a faster five-out-of-six result. Players with exactly the same score and time share a rank.
The timer starts when Brisk starts your round and ends when your complete answer submission reaches Brisk. It keeps running if you change tabs, leave or reload. Connection delays can affect the recorded time.
Your first daily attempt counts. The daily challenge closes at midnight UTC, when the next one opens. Practice rounds use separate questions and do not change daily rankings, streaks or history.
What comparisons tell you
Rankings compare completed daily attempts from Brisk players. Percentage comparisons appear once at least five players have finished. This is a comparison within that day’s game, not a standardised test of intelligence or cognitive health.
Fair play and corrections
Please solve the daily questions yourself. Use the flag beside a leaderboard entry to report a concerning name or result privately. Administrators can review reports and exclude results; a report alone does not remove a player.
For a puzzle correction, contact us with the challenge date, the question and the answer you expected. Taro Schenker is responsible for maintaining Brisk’s puzzle rules and content. We use confirmed issues to improve future questions.
