The Daily Baffle

About The Daily Baffle

The Daily Baffle is a collection of original daily puzzles, presented like a small newspaper puzzle page with a weekly piece of wisdom and a mock horoscope at the top. It is free on the web and as an app for iPhone, iPad and Android, which the App Store lists under Julian Eden.

Most puzzles change every day. Pathword asks you to lay a single path through a grid of letters so that it spells four words in turn. Rubigram gives you letter tiles that must be rotated and flipped until every row and column reads as a word. Triword asks for the word fragment that completes three other fragments. Arithmeglyphs is a maths-logic puzzle about completing number sequences from symbols, and Truthsorting asks you to order statements so that some come out true and others false. Pathword 5x5 and the larger Megarubigram run on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Morphology, a clued word ladder written by a range of constructors, ran with new puzzles from September 2025 to July 2026 and now shows re-runs. Solved puzzles show your time and a share button.

It suits solvers who want several short, inventive puzzles each morning rather than one big one.

How to play The Daily Baffle

1. Open The Daily Baffle on the web or in the app and pick one of today's puzzles.

Tips

• In Pathword, use the letter string shown above the grid to check the order of your path.
• Start Rubigram with the tile whose letters fit the fewest positions.
• Pathword 5x5 and Megarubigram only appear on Tuesdays and Fridays, so save time for them.
