rebus
A phrase drawn as symbols, size, repetition and position. The meaning is in the layout — a word sitting on top of another word is saying something the two words alone are not.
How a round plays
Read the arrangement, not the words.
- Read the arrangement as much as the parts.
- Type the phrase it spells out.
- Near-misses in wording are accepted.
Scoring and fairness
What the grade is measuring.
The ◆ grade. Whether you got it, on how many attempts.
Hints.Reveals one letter of the answer. Using one keeps you off the ranked board for that day, so a hint can rescue a round but never buy a rank.
How the result is proved.Server-graded answer. Every one of the ten games is verified server-side in one of three ways — a replayed move log, a server-graded answer, or per-guess checks that end in a signed win token — so the leaderboard only counts results the server could reconstruct for itself.
- Verification: Server-graded answer
- Puzzle source: Generated and curated
- Typical round: 1–3 min
Where it comes from
A new one, every night.
Tomorrow's rebus already exists. It was generated from a date seed, checked by a solver, and put in a queue that runs weeks ahead of today — so nothing ships the night it was made, and a bad batch never reaches a player.
