A daily puzzle like Wordle, but a mystery
If you love Wordle, try Lie of Sight: one free case a day, the same one for everyone, with a streak to keep and a result to share. The difference is the puzzle. Instead of guessing a word, you look at a room from above, read what each of the Fibberson family says they saw, and work out which one of them is lying.
What’s the same as Wordle
- One a day. A new case arrives at midnight, your time, and everyone gets the same one.
- A streak. Solve the daily case on its day to keep your streak going. A daily you don’t solve, or miss, ends it. Playing a past daily later is fun, but it doesn’t count.
- A result to share. When you’re done you get a picture of how it went, and a link to send. It shows how you did, never who lied.
- Free, in your browser. No download, and no sign-up to start.
What’s different
Wordle is about words. Lie of Sight is about looking. Each person in the family has one rule for what they notice: Dad sees his whole row and column, the Kid is short so low furniture blocks him, Grandma sees only two squares, and Rex the dog goes by smell. Each one says what they saw, or didn’t see. Exactly one of them is lying.
You drag the family around the room to test their stories. The honest ones can all be true at once. The liar’s never can. There’s no luck and no hidden word to guess: everything you need is on the board.
And when one a day isn’t enough, there are 25 more free cases to play any time: practice, 15 Case Files and 10 Tricky Cases. Fibs the cat joins the family in the Cat Files, part of the unlock.
Other daily puzzles
Lie of Sight sits happily beside the others. Wordle and Connections are word games. Clues by Sam and Murdle are deduction puzzles told in words, where you read the clues and rule suspects out. Lie of Sight is a deduction puzzle told in pictures: the clues are what each person could see from where they stood.
If you already play a few of these with your morning coffee, this one fits in beside them.
Who will like it
People who enjoy the click of a logic puzzle and the small ritual of a daily. People who’d rather work something out than guess it. And anyone who likes a family that can’t quite keep a straight face, because every case ends with one of them caught in a fib.
