Answer eight prompts with something real but rare. The fewer people who would say it, the higher your rocket climbs.

New York is on Eastern Standard Time today, 5 hours behind UTC. Games that turn over at midnight UTC put out their next puzzle at 7:00 p.m. in New York, so Thursday’s puzzle in those games is out on Wednesday evening. Games that follow your own clock, such as Wordle and Connections, turn over at midnight wherever you are. 75 games publish a reset time; the rest are left off this list rather than guessed.

This page is rebuilt every night just after midnight in New York, so the date at the top is always today’s date there. Thursday’s page replaces it at 12:00 a.m. EST. The times above are New York’s; each row also shows the next puzzle in your own time zone once the page has loaded. A reset time is listed only where a game publishes one or shows a countdown to its next puzzle.
