How to play Cleverer

Cleverer is a daily word game. You get seven prompts, such as "Name a bird that can fly", with 25 seconds for each. A correct answer scores more the fewer other players gave it, so the obvious answer is rarely the best one.

A round

  1. Type an answer and press Go. If it doesn't count, try another until the clock runs out.
  2. Each prompt takes one accepted answer. Your duck bounces further the rarer it is, past the other players' ducks.
  3. After the seventh prompt you see how many players gave each of your answers, the most common and rarest answers, and where you placed.

Questions

What counts as a correct answer?

A real thing that fits the prompt. Small spelling mistakes are fine. If an answer you are sure about is rejected, tap "This should count" on the results screen and it gets reviewed.

When do new prompts come out?

Every day at midnight UTC. The previous ten days stay playable from the home screen.

Do I need an account?

No. Pick a name and play. To be the same player on another device, open your player link or sign in with a link sent to your email.

Is it free?

Yes.
