A few playing notes
- How do you play Spinedle?
Guess the book from a worn spine in up to six guesses. Use the author, decade, genre, nationality and length feedback to narrow your next choice. Read the clues that appear after a miss; guessing a different sort of book can be more informative than repeating a similar guess.
- When do the daily book games change?
New puzzles arrive at midnight UTC. That may be morning, afternoon or evening in your time zone. The date on the game identifies the puzzle everyone is playing.
- Can I play without an account?
You can play the daily games as a guest. Sign in if you want to keep your streaks across devices, and use the archive links when you want an earlier puzzle. Avoid posting an answer where people who have not played will see it.
