About Daily RAT: Word Puzzle Game
Daily RAT gives you three seemingly unrelated words (swiss, cottage, cake) and asks for the one word that connects them all (Cheese). Some days it takes five seconds. Some days it takes five minutes and a hint. Either way, there's exactly one a day, and everyone gets the same one. HOW IT WORKS - The clock starts when you do. Wrong guesses are free. - Stuck? Hold for a hint (it adds 30 seconds to your ranked time). - Really stuck? Raise the flag and see the answer. You keep your streak, you just sit out that day's medal. MEDALS & STREAKS - Your time is ranked against everyone who played that day. Fastest 10% earn a Golden Gouda, top 30% a Silver Swiss, top 50% a Bronze Brie. Medals land the next morning once the whole field is in. - Play every day to build your streak. SHARE WITHOUT SPOILING - Share your results via text or social media! - Stuck at 11pm? Send the three words to a friend and let them sweat too. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account. No sign-up. Your history, streak, and medals live only on your device. The app contains no ads and no third-party SDKs. Replay any puzzle from the last 60 days in the Archive. Daily RAT is an adaptation of the Remote Associates Test, a creativity measure developed by Sarnoff and Martha Mednick in 1962. Also playable free at dailyrat.fun.
