Questions
- How does Puzzle Sprint work?
- You get one puzzle after another. The first is rated about 600 and each one after it is a little harder. Find the best move: a right answer adds one to your score, and a wrong move is a miss with no second try.
- When does a run end?
- At the third miss, or when the clock runs out in the 3 and 5 minute runs. Survival has no clock, so only the misses end it.
- Does the clock run while a puzzle is loading?
- The clock starts when the first puzzle is on the board. The next puzzle is fetched while you are solving the current one, so it is ready when you need it.
- Where are my best scores kept?
- In this browser, on this device, one best score for each kind of run. No account is needed.
- Is it the same as the puzzle trainer?
- No. The trainer gives you puzzles at your own level and moves your puzzle rating. A sprint does not touch your rating: it is a score to beat.
