What's New
Latest updates & features
Every row on the leaderboard now opens a card for that player, on the global board and on the daily boards alike. It flies their school banner across the top, then their name, picture and how long they have been here, their global rank, tier and Rally Points, a few headline numbers, and their streak in every mode they have played. Only what the boards already show, gathered in one place: no emails, nothing private.
An example. Tap any row on the leaderboard for the real thing.
The boards had filled up with rows all called Little Giant, the name every guest starts with, which made it hard to spot anyone. From today the global board and every daily board show only players who have picked a name. Nobody has been removed: flip "Show unnamed players" above any board to see everyone, and if you are still playing as Little Giant your results screen will offer a spot to pick a name and claim your place. Signed in players are unaffected, your account name already counts.
The home page used to be a wall of tiles and two big promo banners, and it told you nothing about how you were going. It now opens with a strip for today: how many modes you have played, how many streaks are still alive, your Rally Points and your tier, with your picture and school banner beside them. The newest mode gets a spotlight card at the top, and every tile carries your own state as well as the global count, so a mode you have already finished today shows a tick and a live streak shows its number. The grid squares up properly now too, four columns on desktop and two on a phone, with no half empty rows.
This one sat in the archives for a while and I went back and forth on whether to finish it, but I think the final result is pretty fun :"3 Two characters, one trait, ten rounds. Try one below. A miss costs the round, not the run, so everyone plays all ten and everyone gets the same matchups, which makes a score out of 10 worth comparing. Own streak, and Rally Points for how few you miss.
Round 1 of 10
Trait: Height
Finishing a daily puzzle now shows where you stand. The results screen has a new card with your global rank, your tier and your Rally Points total, plus a button straight to the leaderboard. It updates as soon as your points for the day are counted, so you can watch yourself climb without leaving the game.
Profile pictures on the global leaderboard were tiny on phones. They are now noticeably larger, so you can actually see who you are up against.
When the global leaderboard took over, the daily board for each gamemode was still there but you had to know the address to reach it. The leaderboard page now has two tabs: Global, which opens by default, and Daily, which is today's board for a single gamemode. So you can check the fastest Time Attack or the fewest guesses whenever you want. Those boards got a facelift on the way back: every row now shows the player's profile picture and the team they fly, with their streak where it has always been.
The top players were only weeks away from National Elite, and after that there was nowhere left to climb, so the ladder now goes higher. National Elite has moved up to 32,000 points, World Class sits above it at 50,000, and Monster Generation crowns the ladder at 80,000.

Until now the name you picked at sign up was stuck with you for good. Head to settings, open the account panel and hit change username. It updates everywhere your name shows, including the days you have already played, so your old name is gone once you save. You can change it once every 30 days. Email accounts only for now.
Picking Offence was handing out balanced players, Defence was handing out attackers and Balanced was handing out defenders, so the choice felt scrambled. It now works the way it reads. Offence gets you a heavy attacker, Defence gets you an elite receiver and Balanced gets you an all rounder with no weak stats. Your free Elite promo card follows your playstyle too, where before it was a random pull that ignored your pick entirely. The guaranteed Nationals card in your first pack was also being skipped around half the time. That is fixed, and your first pack still covers all five positions. S/o to Ace for reporting it.
The biggest update yet: accounts, profile pictures and one global leaderboard
Instead of a separate board for every gamemode, there is now one ranking at /leaderboard. Every puzzle you solve earns Rally Points, they all add into a single total, and that total is your rank across the whole site.
Once you are signed in with an email you can upload a picture and fly your favourite team beside your name. Both show up on your profile and on the global leaderboard.
Points are scored on how well you played, not just on finishing. Solving in one guess pays the most and it tapers down from there. Every mode has a Rally Points panel above the board that shows exactly what it pays before you start.
Your total decides your tier. Tiers sit on fixed point thresholds, so yours never drops because someone else had a good week, and you can filter the board to a single tier to see who you are actually racing. Here is the full ladder.

Every past solve across every mode was scored and banked, so you land on the board with your full history behind you instead of starting from zero.
The per gamemode leaderboards moved to /leaderboard/legacy if you want to look back at them.
If you play with a username and PIN, none of this leaves you behind. Your streaks, your history and your backfilled Rally Points are all attached to your account exactly as they were.
Open Settings and add your email. You keep your username and everything you have earned, and you will need your PIN once to prove the account is yours. Do it while you still remember that PIN, because PIN sign in is being retired later this year.
The streaks page has moved to /profile, which holds your streaks, your name, your picture and your team in one place. Old /streaks links redirect there, so nothing is lost.
