The goal of each game is to guess a notable name, using as few clues as possible.

• You can request up to six clues to help you guess. The clues become easier as you go along.
• Every time you request another clue (by selecting "Next clue"), your score drops by a point. Answer correctly on the first clue and you score six points; answer on the next clue and you score five, and so on.
• You can review previous clues at any time without losing points.
• When you think you know the answer, select the Answer button and type it in. For people with several names, go with the best-known option. Either the full name or just the surname is accepted, and small spelling slips are forgiven.
• A wrong answer moves you on to the next clue, so you get one attempt per clue.
• A new name arrives every day.
