The Daily Mosaic board with five hidden tiles, the centre tile selected and its first clue above eight empty letter boxes

The Daily Mosaic is a short daily word puzzle. Five words hide behind the tiles of a mosaic; you crack each from its clue, then arrange the five into a sentence that reveals a true fact about the world and a picture. Fewer extra clues and wrong guesses keep the picture whole.

About The Daily Mosaic

The Daily Mosaic is a free browser word puzzle from Mosaic Minds, an online learning studio for teenagers. It puts out one numbered edition a day, the same for everyone, and each edition hides a true and little-known fact. The editions began on 1 September 2026, and the calendar lists every one by date.

The board is a mosaic of five tiles, four squares around a circle. Tapping a tile opens its clue and a row of letter boxes, one per letter of the hidden word. A second clue costs a point and a third costs two, and a revealed letter costs too; a wrong guess adds a crack to the mosaic. Each tile has three clues, written in a crossword style.

Below the board waits the day's sentence with its gaps: on 26 October it read "The _ _ took its _ a _ to _". Once all five words are found you drop them into the right gaps. Get it right and the fact appears in full, with a short story behind it, a link to the source it came from, a line of "mindset" about what it teaches, and an illustration credited to its artist. Solve with no cracks and the picture stays whole.

It plays the same on a phone and a computer, with no ads and no sign-up. A trophy button keeps your streak, average cracks and record, and a new leaderboard shows the day's top solvers and the overall rankings for players who join with an email address. It suits players who like crossword clues and want to learn one small thing a day.

How to play The Daily Mosaic

  1. Open today's edition and tap any tile of the mosaic.
  2. Read its clue and type the hidden word in the letter boxes, then press Enter.
  3. If you are stuck, open the second or third clue or reveal a letter, at a small cost.
  4. Crack all five words; each wrong guess adds a crack to the mosaic.
  5. Arrange the five words into a sentence to reveal the day's fact and its picture.

Tips

  • Start with the tile whose clue you find easiest; the solved words hint at the sentence.
  • Count the letter boxes before guessing: the length rules out many answers.
  • Read the sentence's fixed words early: "took its ... a ... to" already narrows what the gaps can hold.
  • Spelling is American English, so use color and organize.
  • Think about the sentence before asking for extra clues, since every peek costs points.
