How the dailies work

Each game publishes one official puzzle per day, the same for every player — so you can compare scores with friends using the spoiler-free emoji share grids. Your streaks and statistics are saved privately in your own browser. When you finish the daily, most games offer a Free Play mode with unlimited puzzles, and several offer Eras mode to scope the puzzle to your favourite decade of cinema, from the 1950s to the 2020s.

The games are built on a graph of hundreds of thousands of films and the actors who starred in them together — every puzzle is generated from real filmographies, so your movie knowledge is always the answer key. Curious what that graph reveals about a century of cinema? Our articles dig into the data: the most connected actors ever measured, the great ensemble films that link everyone to everyone, and why six degrees of separation is usually only three.
