On September 8, 2026, the daily round is all about “Autumn”. It gathers ten medium-difficulty words, and the scrambles are fixed, so friends can race the very same set.
This date's set counts ten words, the smallest at 5 letters and the biggest at 9 — enough spread that pacing, not luck, decides your finishing tally. “Autumn” sets the vocabulary for the whole round, so warm up by listing a handful of on-topic words before your first guess. The sequence marks this one #39; solve it now or years from now at the same address and the experience will be letter-for-letter identical.
The timer starts when you do and stops at the final word, producing a fair, comparable result for anyone playing the same date. Full rules and answers to common questions live in the how-to-play guide; the archive lists every earlier daily by month, and unlimited puzzles offer endless extra practice between dates.
