Revealed (Britannica)

Revealed is a daily puzzle from Encyclopaedia Britannica, played in the browser on britannica.com. Each day's puzzle is dated and tagged with a broad category such as Arts & Culture, Science & Tech or Animals & Nature. Below the category sits the subject's name as a row of empty letter boxes, and under that a short Britannica entry in which the small linking words are shown and every meaningful word is a dark block. Places where the subject's own name appears are shown as paler blocks, so you can see how often the article mentions it.

You spend Reveals by tapping a block and confirming, which uncovers that one word. Every two reveals earn a Hint. You can press Guess at any time without penalty and type the topic; a right answer uncovers the whole article. On 18 October 2026 the entry described a brittle, glazed and salted snack of German or Alsatian origin, twisted into a loose knot and sold from pushcarts: the answer was pretzel, and one revealed word (German) was enough.

After solving, a Results tab compares your Reveals and Hints with the average of other players and the share who solved it, keeps lifetime stats with a solve rate and streaks, and offers a Share button. An Archive tab lists past days by date and category, so missed puzzles can be played later.

The idea is close to Redactle and Pedantle, but here you uncover words by choosing which block to open rather than by guessing them, and the goal is to name the topic with the least help. It suits players who like trivia and reading for context more than vocabulary. The page carries ads around the game.
