What Yesternerd is
Yesternerd is a free daily general-knowledge game built around four distinct puzzles, each asking you to identify a historical figure or artifact. The same set of puzzles is given to every player each day, with a fresh set appearing at midnight. No account is required, and the game works offline.
How to play
Each day offers four games: Face Value, Lifeline, Relic, and Thread. In Face Value, you start with one open scrap among nine and tear adjacent scraps to reveal more of a figure or artifact, then guess its name. In Lifeline, you guess a figure from their birth and death locations and years, typing the name with flexible spelling. In Thread, you sort 16 tiles into 4 hidden groups. Clues such as Claim to fame, Lived, and Initials, or a set of choices, are available to help.
Tips
- Wrong guesses cost 15 points and clue slips cost 15 to 25, so weigh the cost of a clue against the risk of a miss.
- Consecutive correct answers add 10 points from the second one onward, so staying accurate across all 5 rounds in a game lifts your daily average.
