How Survival works

01

Correct answers keep you alive

A round within 6% of the true size scores full marks; anything in the green or yellow band keeps you going. One red miss ends the run.

02

Your streak is the score

Count how many rounds you survive in a row. Your best streak is saved in your browser, so there is always a record to beat.

03

Pairs are always fresh

Like Unlimited, each round draws a new reference and target pair from the library, holding back the last 16 rounds.

Survival FAQ

What counts as a miss?

A round that scores under 45 points (the red band) ends the run. Anything else keeps you going.

Where is my best streak saved?

In your browser's local storage on this device. Clearing site data or switching browsers resets it.

Can I retry after game over?

Yes — hit Play again for a fresh run. Your best streak stays until you beat it.

Is Survival linked to the daily puzzle?

No. It is a separate mode with its own record, and it never touches your daily streak.
