About Hearsay

Hearsay is a free daily logic puzzle from Mind Loft, in the family made famous by Cheryl’s Birthday. A shortlist of candidates is public. Two people (three on Sundays) are each told one detail of the secret entry and nothing more, and then they talk. Your job is to work out which entry they are circling.

The trick that makes it click is that ignorance carries information. When someone says they cannot work it out, every candidate that would have handed them the answer is gone. When someone says they now can, the survivors that stayed ambiguous fall away. Each line cuts the list, and exactly one entry lives through all of them.

A new case is heard every day at midnight Eastern, with a third voice on Sundays. No app, no signup, play free in your browser, keep a streak and race the daily leaderboard. More dailies: Axiom, our hidden-rule puzzle, Sworn, our daily liars puzzle, and Alibi, our nightly whodunit.
