ClueBy

ClueBy is a daily sorting puzzle built from real sentences. The board holds twelve of them, each with a gap where one word was taken out. Only four words are missing in total, so the sentences fall into four groups of three. The catch is meaning. A word like bark can sit on a tree or come from a dog, and each sentence in a group leans on a different sense of the same word.

You select three sentences and press Submit. A correct group leaves the board and shows its word filled in, along with the meaning used in each sentence and a link to where the sentence came from. A wrong group costs a mistake, and the game tells you when you were One away, meaning two of the three belong together. The third mistake ends the day. The light bulb button reveals the first letter of one sentence's word, starting with the easiest group, at the price of a mistake. Once three groups are found the last one fills in on its own. Groups are coloured green, blue, orange and purple, from easiest to hardest.

The sentences come from Tatoeba and Mozilla Common Voice, and ClueBy writes its own when no existing sentence fits. Puzzles are numbered from 1 October 2026 and get harder through the week, with Monday the gentlest and Saturday the trickiest. Earlier days sit on an archive calendar.

There is no account. Games, stats and streaks are kept in your browser, and results can be shared. The site is in English and Spanish. ClueBy comes from Ana Puzzle, the maker of Aura Clue. Until autumn 2026 the same address hosted a different ClueBy, a shuffled five-letter word solved from counts of letters in place.
