Clue Trestle Daily

Build a balanced connection within its effort budget.

The printed ratings and effort are authored game values. A route must fit the effort budget. Then maximize its weaker leg (the smaller of two printed ratings). If those tie, lower effort wins. Tied best routes earn equal credit.

Tests, scoring and authored readings

Test up to three different candidates, then bank your best tested route. The first test is free; each additional different test costs 5 points. Incomplete or repeated checks are free. The weaker-leg report costs 10. Three tests automatically bank your best. Reveal ends play for 0.

Best base score is 100. Each weaker-leg rating below the best loses 20 points. With equal strength, each extra effort loses 2 points. Over-budget routes earn 0. Test and report costs are subtracted once.

Ratings and effort are authored game values, not measured semantic strength. Readings show how each word connects. Finished daily results stay fixed; practice supports replay. Daily changes at 00:00 UTC. This authored collection repeats 8 daily puzzles and has 4 separate practice puzzles.
