About Five Ahas

Five daily puzzles. Only ever five.

Every morning at 7:00 your time, five new puzzles drop. Each one is small, takes a few minutes, and turns on one “aha”.

The five

• Pour: which glass fills first?
• Impostors: twelve share a secret; find the four that don’t.
• Sort: put five things in order, four times a day.
• Overcomplicated: name the everyday thing from its jargon.
• Crossgrid: every word sits in one row and one column.

The promise

• Only ever five games. When a new game beats the weakest of the five, it takes that slot. There will never be a sixth tab.
• Fresh every day, no ramp. No easy Mondays and brutal Sundays: each day is its own puzzle. Pour has Easy, Medium and Hard.
• Checked by hand. Every puzzle is tested to have exactly one answer, and every fact in Sort is checked against a source.
• No accounts. Your streaks and stats live in your browser.
