Most word games draw on the same few thousand everyday words. Zigora’s bank runs to more than two thousand — CREVASSE, TAPIOCA, SCHOONER, GADWALL — picked for texture rather than difficulty. Each arrives with its meaning, and more than 1,800 carry a written origin story: where the word came from, and how it reached you.
A puzzle takes a few minutes. Everyone gets the same word on the same day, so there’s always something to compare — and everything you solve stays with you in a Collection graded Common to Legendary.
Mystery is the long way round: a road of more than 1,300 words, one to a stop, climbing as you go. Matching charges a bar you spend to name a letter yourself — and on longer words, a letter or two never appears on the board at all. Stars are recorded against the word rather than the stop, so what you worked out stays yours.
Highlights
Five things that make a round worth coming back to.
Your Collection
Every word you solve joins a gallery graded Common to Legendary. Tap to hear it, or uncover the surprising story behind the rarest.
A fresh puzzle every day
A new Daily Challenge every morning — everyone plays the same word that day — with a streak you’ll want to protect. Miss a day and it resets.
Deduce the hidden word
The answer’s hidden — work it out from a one-line clue (tap for a riddle or the word’s origin). Match colors to charge up guesses, reveals and hints, then spend them to close in on the word.
Share your rarest words
Turn any word you’ve caught into a clean shareable card — flex the rare finds and pull friends in.
Modes for every mood
Mystery runs a road of more than 1,300 words, one to a stop. Beside it: the Campaign level by level, Marathon on a move pool, and Time Attack in 75 seconds.

Questions
- Do I need to install anything?
- No. Today’s Daily Challenge plays in your browser — no download, no sign-up. The app adds Friends, Duels and the other game modes.
- Do I need an account?
- No. You can play without one, and your progress lives on your device. Link an email only if you want to keep it when you change phones or reinstall.
- When does the daily puzzle change?
- At midnight UTC. Everyone plays the same word during the same UTC day, wherever they are — so if it’s still today where you are and the word has changed, that’s why.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing. The browser Daily Challenge and the app are both free to play, on iOS and Android.
