Choose your edition
Three lines a day, one per edition, and each one only once. There is nothing to lose and help is free if you want it; the only measure is the clock, and it stops the moment the line reads.

How to play
- One sentence, in code. Every letter has been swapped for another, the same way all through the line. Work out which is which until it reads.
- Tap a letter and type what you think it is. It fills in everywhere that letter appears at once. Change your mind as often as you like.
- No letter ever stands for itself. A coded Q is never a Q.
- Nothing to lose. Nothing is marked wrong unless you ask, and no mistake is ever counted against you. The clock is the only score, and it stops when the line reads.
- Stuck? Ask the Copy Desk. That is the hint button. Check the line, reveal a letter, or reveal a whole word. Free, any time, and nothing there is scored against you.
