Letter counts and notes for each answer. Single-word answers show a tile strip; phrases show summary cards.
Five steps to clear the board.
Short answers have fewer crossing tiles, so solving them first seeds the longer answers for free. The Mini is compact, so one early win often cascades through the whole board.
Each blank row shows how many letters the answer has. Count before typing — a word one letter too long or short is wrong even if it looks right. Use the tile count to filter your first instinct.
A "?" at the end of a clue signals a pun or lateral connection, not a straight definition. Re-read the clue sideways and the answer often clicks immediately.
Because the Mini is small, every answer shares tiles with at least one other. If stuck, look at which letters are already locked in from crossing answers and work backwards.
On a short board hesitation costs more than a wrong guess. Enter your best candidate, then use crossing tiles to confirm or rule it out and move on.
Whether you are on the Trivia Daily or the Daily Mini, these five tactics let you clear today's board without spending a hint.
Check the answer count before starting. This page shows the exact number of clues and total tiles at the top. Knowing the board size upfront tells you how many answers share crossing letters — on a compact board, every answer you solve unlocks at least one other, so the clear order matters more than it first appears.
Use the at-a-glance panel to prioritise. The answer tiles at the top of this page link directly to each clue's breakdown. Spot the longest answer there before you go to the full table — that is the one to solve first, since its letters cascade through the most crossing entries.
Let tile length filter your candidates. Count the blank slots in the row before guessing. If the question points at a multi-word phrase but the slot holds a single word, the game wants the abbreviated or combined form. The tile count in the breakdown table on this page is the definitive reference.
Scan crossing letters before committing to an unsure answer. Place a crossing answer you are confident about first. The shared letter position either confirms your unsure candidate or rules it out without spending a hint. This is especially useful on the Daily Mini, where every answer crosses at least one other.
Browse the archive for the prior date if a topic recurs. Betta Games reuses topics across consecutive daily sets. If today's clue involves a subject you half-remember, checking yesterday's Trivia Daily or Daily Theme often surfaces the same vocabulary in a context that makes the answer obvious.

Every answer on this page is read from the game's own puzzle data rather than retyped from another site, and is checked against what the board actually provides — so nothing listed can use a letter the level does not give you. The counts shown are computed from the stored data, not typed in by hand.

Last checked — Sep 6, 2026The order that clears a board fastest.
Letters, tiles or clues — count them before you start. That constraint is the strongest filter you have.
Each confirmed answer narrows the ones it touches, so the easy entries are worth the first minute.
Follow the chain from what you have placed rather than jumping around the board.
