Classic: type any commander. Each guess adds a row comparing their talent trees, damage type, civilization, gender and release year with today's commander. Green means a match, red means no. The talents tile holds all three trees and turns yellow when one or two of them match, without saying which. Damage type works the same way and means every flavour of damage anywhere in the commander's kit, passives included, not just the active skill: Skill, Smite, Combo and True are the special ones, and a commander who deals none of them is Normal.

Skill: you get the description of one of the commander's skills with its name hidden. Name the commander. The skill icon appears after 3 wrong guesses and the skill name after 6.

Title: you get the commander's in-game title, such as Bow of Revolution. Name the commander. Their civilization appears after 3 wrong guesses and their troop type after 6.

Points: guesses are unlimited. A first-guess solve is worth 100 points, every wrong guess before the solve takes 10 off, and a solve is never worth less than 10. Solving on consecutive days keeps your streak alive. Points count towards the weekly (Monday reset), monthly and all-time leaderboards when you are signed in; signed-out play keeps its stats in your browser, and signing in brings that day's guesses into your account, unless it has already played that puzzle.

Medals: once a week or a month is over and the fair-play check below has run on all of it (a month waits for its last week to end, even when that week runs into the next month), its top three keep their placement for good and wear a gold, silver or bronze medal on their profile. Players level on points and solves share a placement, so two can take gold and the next one takes bronze. Medals stack, so a player who finishes top three several times shows every one of them. The leaderboard's Last week and Last month views show those final standings.

Fair play: the answer is the same for everyone, and a Classic commander is a one-in-145 first guess, so one of those in a week can be luck and more is not guessing. When a week ends, your first Classic puzzle solved on the first guess that week keeps its points, and every later one that week scores 0: it stays solved, but its points leave every board, the monthly and all-time totals included. Skill and Title are never counted for this, since knowing the kits and the titles is exactly what they test.

Share your result with the Share button: it copies a grid with a check, a yellow square or a cross for each tile, which you can paste anywhere without spoiling the answer. On a phone it opens the share sheet.

Past puzzles: any earlier puzzle can be played for practice from the Past puzzles panel. Your guesses are checked but never scored or saved to your account, and today's board and your streak stay as they are.

Streak badges: a best streak of 7, 30 or 100 days earns a free badge on your profile, beside any medals. It stays even after the streak ends.
