Questions people ask
When does the joke of the day change?
A new joke goes live every day at midnight Eastern Time. Everyone in the US gets the same joke on the same day, so you can compare results with friends and family no matter which time zone they're in.
How does the streak work?
Solve the daily joke and your streak goes up by one. Miss a day, or run out of guesses, and it resets. Your streak is saved in your browser, so you'll want to play on the same device each day to keep it going.
What does the hint button do?
It reveals a letter in the punchline to help you along. Using a hint doesn't break your streak, so it's there for any morning your brain needs an extra cup of coffee.
