What is Bluffcab?
Bluffcab is a daily vocabulary game that presents five words one at a time. For each word you decide whether it is a real English word or a fabricated bluff. Between one and five of the day’s words are genuine. The game offers three difficulty tiers and tracks a score out of five along with a daily streak.
How to play Bluffcab
- Open the daily challenge and select a difficulty tier (Beginner, Moderate, or Hard).
- Read the single word displayed on the screen. A pronunciation button is available if you want to hear it spoken.
- Choose “Word” if you believe the term is real or “Not a Word” if you think it is invented.
- After each choice the game reveals whether you were correct, shows the definition and an example sentence for real words, and updates your score.
- Continue through all five words. At the end you see your total score, can save real words for later review, share the result, or check previous days.
Difficulty tiers and daily structure
Each day offers the same five-word set across three independent tiers. Beginner uses more familiar or transparent words, Moderate raises the challenge, and Hard relies on rarer or more deceptive forms. You can play any or all tiers. Progress is stored locally in the browser, and a calendar lets you replay any of the last seven days.
Tips for better decisions
Listen to the pronunciation when the word looks unfamiliar; stress and syllable count can signal authenticity. After a correct “Word” answer, use the save feature to keep the definition and example sentence for later study. Treat each tier as a separate challenge rather than trying to force the same strategy across all three. A free streak shield sends a daily reminder so a missed day does not break your run.
