How to play

Every day, everyone gets the same prompt word. You have 90 seconds to type as many words as you can that relate to it. Each valid word earns points based on how rare it is — common words score low, obscure-but-valid words score high. When time’s up, you get a shareable word cloud of your finds.

Frequently asked questions

Why was my word rejected? A word has to be a real English word and be related enough to the prompt. If it’s spelled correctly but still rejected, the connection was likely too loose. Very creative-but-valid links do count — that’s where the rare points are.

How does scoring work? Points scale with rarity: everyday words earn the least, and rarer valid words earn progressively more. The goal is creative, uncommon associations — not just quantity.

I lost my streak / progress. Can I get it back? Full gameplay history is stored on your device. Eligible daily scores and your display name are also uploaded to the public leaderboard. Uninstalling can lose your guest login and local history; it does not delete uploaded scores. The current app has no supported cross-device recovery flow. Contact support before removing the app if you need help.

How do I remove ads? The free version shows banner ads. The one-time ad-free upgrade removes banner ads. When the ad-free entitlement is active, ad banners are not loaded.

I bought the ad-free upgrade (or a theme) but don’t see it. Open Profile → Settings → Restore Purchases. If it still doesn’t appear, email us with the store you purchased from (App Store or Google Play).

What happened to theme packs? Theme packs are no longer offered for purchase, and the current app does not have theme or Light/Dark controls. Restore Purchases still recognizes eligible previous purchases.

Does the game work offline? Yes. All word checking happens on your device, so the daily game is fully playable with no internet connection. The optional leaderboard requires a connection.

How does the leaderboard work? For confirmed players aged 13 or older, online play uses an anonymous guest account. Uploaded scores and the display name are public. You do not enter an email or password. Your display name appears on your Profile screen.

I’m playing for / with a child under 13. Players who indicate they’re under 13 can play the full game and view the leaderboard, but do not create our guest accounts, submit scores or send product analytics. Ads are served with child-directed treatment. See our Privacy Policy for details.

How do I turn daily reminders on or off? Reminders are opt-in and scheduled on your device. You can change or disable them in the app, or in your device’s notification settings for Mind Map Duel.

Data & privacy requests

Contact us for help with privacy or deletion. The current app has no in-app account deletion control. Guest accounts have no email or password. Public usernames, player IDs and scores do not prove ownership, so we cannot authorize deletion based on them alone. If your guest login is lost, we may be unable to verify that the account is yours. Do not email login tokens, saved credentials or other private account secrets. Removing the app or resetting progress does not delete uploaded scores. We do not automatically delete scores after 90 days. See our Privacy Policy.
