About AIRSPACE

One flight route. Five clues. A new puzzle every day at midnight. Built for the quiet ritual of morning coffee.

FAQ

Quick answers to common questions.

How often do new puzzles drop?

A fresh puzzle goes live every day at midnight Eastern Time. The countdown on the home screen always points to the next one.

How is my score calculated?

Base points by clues used: 100 / 80 / 60 / 40 / 20. Solve faster for a time bonus — up to +60 points (1 point per 3 seconds left on the 3-minute timer). Max possible score is 160.

What's the free bonus clue?

Once you guess the departure city correctly, the first arrival clue is revealed for free and doesn't count against your score.

What counts as a valid guess?

City names, airport names, and 3-letter IATA codes (e.g. LHR, JFK, NRT) are all accepted. Spelling is forgiving but be specific — 'London' works, 'England' doesn't.

What do the colors and arrows on wrong guesses mean?

Color shows how close you were by great-circle distance (red hot to way off — see the Distance Legend below). The arrow points from your guess toward the correct airport.

What are Miles and how do they work?

Miles are streak freezes. You earn one each time you solve the daily puzzle (capped at 3). If you miss a day, a Mile is automatically spent to keep your streak alive.

Can I replay a puzzle I've already solved?

No — past puzzles you've completed stay locked to preserve your score. You can revisit results in the Archive, and play any unplayed past puzzle in Practice mode.

Does Practice mode affect my streak or stats?

No. Practice puzzles are just for fun and don't count toward your daily streak, score history, or Miles.

Why should I create an account?

An account syncs your streak, stats, and Miles across devices so you don't lose progress if you switch browsers or clear your data.

How do I reset my progress?

If you're signed out, scroll to the bottom of this page and tap 'Reset progress'. Signed-in users should sign out first.
