From the first prompt to your result
You do not need an account. Each game has seven prompts. Begin when you are ready to read and type: the timer belongs to the current prompt, rather than a long setup screen.
- Choose Sky for common answers, Abyss for rare answers, Past for older examples or Future for newer ones.
- Read every condition in the category. Think of one example that clearly fits.
- Type its name and submit before time ends. In Past and Future, enter an entity, not a year.
- Read the feedback. An unrecognized entry can be edited and retried while time remains. A hint or skip provides another way forward.
- Continue through seven prompts, review the result and play again or choose another direction.
The four directions
Validity and strategy are separate. A recognized answer can fit the question and still be a poor choice for the selected direction.
| Mode | Aim | Time per prompt | Maximum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sky | A familiar, high-ranked answer | 30 seconds | 700 per game |
| Abyss | An uncommon valid answer | 40 seconds | 700 per game |
| Past | An older eligible example | 30 seconds | 700 per game |
| Future | A newer eligible example | 30 seconds | 700 per game |
Recognized, unrecognized and helped answers
This edition matches entries against its curated answers and aliases. It does not send a free-form answer to an online AI judge. An unrecognized response means it was not matched in this bank; it is not proof that your real-world answer is false.
Hints keep the normal point rules and mark the result as assisted. A skip and a timeout score zero but remain distinct outcomes. Review these labels when comparing or sharing a run, rather than counting every completed prompt as a correct answer.
Daily games, practice and saved progress
Daily selection rotates through a finite bank. A different date or order does not mean all seven questions are newly written. Practice and replay let you keep playing without pretending that repeated material is new.
Progress and results belong to this browser when local storage is available. They are separate from the original Wonderhop site's history. Shared results omit puzzle answers and retain assistance or replay labels.
How this differs from the original Wonderhop
The original at wonderhop.io has its own daily questions, changing player-based estimates and answer judge. This independent edition uses fixed editorial rankings for common and rare answers, plus dated examples for Past and Future. It has no shared original leaderboard or official account connection.
The four directions are a useful way to understand the play style, but ratings and acceptance in one edition do not guarantee the same result in the other.
Questions, answered
Do I need obscure knowledge?
Sky often favors an obvious familiar example. Abyss asks you to move beyond it, while Past and Future reward choosing the appropriate end of a timeline.
Can I retry an unknown answer?
Yes, while time remains. Check the wording, try a recognized name or alias, or use a hint. Unknown means unmatched in this edition's bank, not necessarily wrong in reality.
Are these the original daily questions?
No. This is an independent game with its own finite question bank and local results.
Sources & method
Questions use named, curated answers with linked reference sources. Popularity is an editorial estimate, not a survey. Each game saves a snapshot of its bank and scoring version. Guides distinguish this edition’s rules from the original publisher’s rules and label examples. We do not claim measured search rankings, player testing or official affiliation.
