What is Riddle of the Day?
Riddle of the Day presents one daily word problem that you must solve by typing an answer rather than choosing from a list. The site operates as the English version of acertijodeldia.com, with language switching available at the top of the page. Each puzzle displays a title, the full date, a difficulty rating from one to five, one text input field, a Check button, and three assistance options: Hint, Ask the tutor, and Solution.
How to play Riddle of the Day
- Read the day’s problem. It appears as a short prose paragraph with a title and difficulty level.
- Enter your answer in the open text field. You have to produce it yourself; there are no options to recognize.
- Press Check to submit it.
- If you get stuck, choose Hint, Ask the tutor, or Solution below the field.
Three levels of help before giving up
The page provides help in stages. Hint gives you a nudge, while Ask the tutor offers guidance along the way. Solution shows the full answer. This lets you decide how far to pursue the puzzle before using the option that ends the challenge.
Reading the feedback
A correct answer replaces the input field with a result card marked “Correct answer” in green. It includes the heading “Correct,” a short explanation, and a “See full explanation” control. The solved screen also shows your active-day streak, total number solved, five rating options, a spoiler-free sharing option, and a link to a recent puzzle.
Tips for solving daily riddles
The difficulty label appears above the text, so you know the expected challenge level before reading the riddle. It is the only difficulty signal provided.
Because the field accepts free text rather than multiple-choice options, determine what form your answer should take before typing. The problem poses a specific question with a definite answer, and the Check button evaluates the exact string you submit. Consider whether the answer should be a number, a single word, a short phrase, or another format based on how the question is asked.
