Question 1

What is the Backword rule?

Accepted Answer

Every clue ends on a word whose last two letters, reversed, begin the answer. A clue ending in "heart" points to an answer starting TR, such as TRAIN.

Question 2

How many guesses do I get?

Accepted Answer

As many as you need. The puzzle records how many attempts it took, and that number is what you share.

Question 3

What happens if I reveal the answer?

Accepted Answer

The answer is shown and the puzzle ends, but the day is recorded as unsolved. Revealing is not counted as a win.

Question 4

How often is there a new Backword riddle?

Accepted Answer

A new riddle appears every day at midnight UTC.
