Venny
Two categories. One answer that fits both. Seven daily rounds of 45 seconds, with more points for answers rated rarer. Free in your browser on mobile or desktop, with no account or download.
What is Venny?
Venny is a daily word game built around Venn diagrams. Each round presents two category labels, and you name one thing that belongs in both. It runs in the browser on mobile or desktop, with no account or download required.
Editor takes
A word nerd’s snack: two circles, one clever overlap, and the joy of finding a rare fruit like BlackBerry over Apple.
Smart risk-reward design—your first valid answer locks in, so the rare find is a gamble worth taking.
No map needed when the daily overlap chase turns familiar names into tiny territories to explore.
Easy to jump into for a coffee break: seven quick rounds, no account, and wrong guesses don’t cost you.
How to play Venny
Type a word or phrase that fits the overlap of the two circles. You have 45 seconds per round, and your first valid answer locks in; incorrect guesses are free. The rarer your valid answer is, the more points it scores.
Tips & strategy
- Think of less obvious examples that still clearly fit both categories.
- Read both category labels literally, including alternate meanings of the words.
- Avoid the most common answer if you can—rarer answers earn more points.
- Use the timer to try several guesses, since wrong answers do not cost points.
- If stuck, list examples from one category and check which also fit the other.
Frequently asked questions

How many rounds are there each day?

What happens if I enter a wrong answer?
Wrong answers are free, so you can keep guessing until the timer runs out. Only your first valid answer is locked in.
How is the rarity or score determined?
Scores are based on how rare an answer is considered. The game currently uses hand-set rarity values; once enough people play, each reveal will show the real percentage of players who gave that answer.
