Each puzzle gives you seven prompts, and your job is to guess whether each one is real or fake. The number of fakes changes from day to day, so it's possible that all seven are fake. After answering, you can see your score and share a postcard-style result with others.

- Don't dismiss an answer just because it sounds unusual; the game often includes obscure but real entries.
- Play daily to build a streak and keep an eye on your average score.
