What Clume is
Clume is a daily word puzzle built around a single hidden answer. You begin with one clue and must work out the word by making guesses; each submitted guess unlocks the next clue, and clues keep coming from deliberately different angles such as associations, phrases, definitions, context, second meanings, or common connections. With the same one-word mystery shared by all players each day, everyone gets up to ten chances and ten clues, making early deduction the core challenge. The goal is to name the word as soon as possible, ideally before every clue has appeared.
How to play
Start by reading the single clue shown for the day, then use it to enter a word that you think could be the hidden answer. Submit that guess to reveal the next clue, and then compare the growing set of clues for shared meanings and associations. Use each new clue as a separate angle on the same word, noting whether it points to a definition, a phrase, a context, or a second meaning. When you feel confident, enter the hidden word as your final guess; you have up to ten guesses and ten clues in total. A fresh Clume puzzle appears at midnight in your local time zone, and the same puzzle is given to all players. You can play free without an account, though recording games and full statistics requires a trial or supporter status.
Tips
- Treat each clue as a different angle on the same word: one may be a definition, another a phrase, another a second meaning. The hidden word must satisfy all of them.
- Because solving early is rewarded, commit as soon as the clues agree on a single word instead of burning all ten clues unnecessarily.
- If an early clue is broad, hold off; later clues are designed to approach from another direction and can confirm or overturn your first idea.
Common questions
How many guesses and clues does a daily puzzle have?
Each daily Clume puzzle has one hidden word and gives you up to ten guesses. Every guess reveals the next clue, so you can see at most ten clues before committing. The puzzle is the same for all players that day.
Do I need to create an account to play?
No. You can play each daily puzzle free without signing up. If you want your games, statistics, and streaks to be recorded, you will need to start a trial or become a supporter; supporter options include annual and monthly plans.
When does the next Clume puzzle become available?
A new puzzle is available at midnight in your local time zone. Because everyone receives the same daily puzzle, all players work on the same hidden word for that day.
