    How to play

    Find the hidden word. It's a common noun, and you have 12 guesses.

    Every guess gets a temperature for how close it is in meaning, from 0°C to 100°C. Hit boiling point and you've found the word.

    Every second guess, a trivia question opens. It has nothing to do with the word. The more obscure your correct answer, the hotter the clue it earns: a Common answer gets a broad hint, a Deep Cut can get you the definition.

    Each question has a 45-second clock. Wrong answers cost nothing but time, and the first answer we accept is the one that counts, so don't play it safe. Everyone gets the same word and questions each day.
