How scoring works

Edition Five (max 600)

Base points by guesses: 1st = 600, 2nd = 500, 3rd = 400, 4th = 300, 5th = 200, 6th = 100. Wrong = 0. Par time is 2:00 — finish faster for up to a 6% bonus. Every second over par keeps lowering your score, with no time limit.

Link Up (max 800)

Find all four groups: 800 minus 150 per mistake (minimum 100). If the game ends early, you get 175 points per group you found. Par time is 3:00; same speed rules apply.

Mini Crossword (max 500)

500 points for a complete puzzle. Par time is 6:00. Faster solves earn a bonus; slower solves lose points continuously — there is no time cap.

Path Trace (max 450)

450 points for filling every cell in order through all numbered circles. Par time is 2:00. Faster paths score higher; there is no max time.

Speed & tie-breakers

Under par you can earn up to a 6% bonus. Over par, you lose 0.4% of your base score per extra second — forever, with no floor. You also lose 0.35 points per second played plus a fraction of a point for every millisecond, so scores are almost never tied. Final scores show one decimal place. Each game can only be scored once per day.
