Sporcle's Daily Acrostic is a crossword-like puzzle with a trivia twist. Each answer you solve drops its letters into a phrase at the top, and the finished phrase reveals a fun fact. A new numbered puzzle comes every day, with an archive of past ones.

About Sporcle Daily Acrostic

The Daily Acrostic is one of Sporcle's daily games, alongside Steps, Chess Attack and the quizzes the site is known for. Each puzzle is numbered and dated; number 355 fell on 2 October 2026.

An acrostic has two parts. Below are clues, each with a row of blanks for its answer. Above is a long phrase, its letters hidden. Every letter in an answer is tied to one square in the phrase, so as you solve clues the phrase fills in, and as the phrase takes shape you can guess its words and work backwards to the clues.

Sporcle's version ends with a trivia reveal: the completed phrase is a fact worth reading, rather than a quotation. You can type a whole word into the phrase when you think you know it, and a timer runs while you play so you can compare your score with your best.

It suits crossword solvers who like a slower, two-way puzzle, and trivia fans who enjoy the payoff of the fact at the end. It is free on the web with ads, which a Sporcle subscription removes.
