Everyone gets the same rack of 14 letters to tuck into one interlocking crossword. Your board waits until you begin.
About Tuck
Tuck is a free daily word puzzle from Mind Loft, the tile-tucking puzzle. Every player in the world gets the same rack of 14 standard-weighted letters (15 in the Sunday Edition) and an empty 9×9 board. There is no answer to find: you design your own interlocking grid, and the score-chasing is the puzzle. Long words, tight crossings, and premium letters at intersections all push the number up.
Every run of two or more letters must be a dictionary word, across and down, and the whole build must connect into one grid. Letters at intersections score in both words, and placing every tile in the rack earns a 10-point bonus. Each day ships with a benchmark set from how players actually score on that rack, beat it and the day counts as a win. Roughly a third of finished grids do. Only your first submitted grid ranks on the daily leaderboard, so make it count.
A fresh rack lands every day at midnight Eastern. No app, no signup, play free in your browser, keep a streak, and race the daily leaderboard. More dailies: Crux, our clueless crossword, Garble, our unscrambling puzzle, and Stet, our copy-desk puzzle.
