Moonshot Daily
Moonshot Daily is a word game about finding popular and unusual answers to category prompts. The more points you earn, the farther your rocket travels.
Game rules
- Choose one of the two daily missions: Common vs Blue Moon or The Ladder.
- For each category in the first round of Common vs Blue Moon, give three answers you think most people would name. You have 15 seconds per answer.
- In the second round, give three valid but uncommon answers for each category. You have 30 seconds per answer.
- In The Ladder, spin to get a rarity tier, then give an answer that fits both the category and that tier. You get four spins in the same category.
- Check your flight report to see how far your rocket traveled.
Quick tip
In the rare-answer round, narrow a broad category to a place you know well. For example, if the category is sports, think of games you’ve seen played in a particular country.
About Moonshot Daily
If the category is fruit, an apple might be a strong opening answer. Once the mission switches to rare answers, think about fruits you seldom see at the grocery store. The category stays the same, but the kinds of answers that score well change.
The Ladder asks you to judge how familiar an answer is. If the spinner lands on Uncommon, think of something people would recognize but might take a moment to name.
