How it works
Every puzzle comes from the Institute’s own work: the profiles of states and empires and the encyclopedia. The first clue is the broadest; the last nearly gives the answer away. Guesses are checked against the names in the suggestions, so pick one from the list.
Today’s puzzle changes at midnight (UTC) and turns in order through profiles, people, events, places, ideas and works. Your progress and streak are kept in this browser only.
