How to read these answers

Resize each target beside the known reference. The regular daily game has five rounds, each worth up to 100 points. Match the labeled measurement direction: a target’s height may be compared with a reference’s length.

Open each answer only when you are ready for a spoiler. The date shown identifies the puzzle: these games change on a player’s local calendar day, while this archive publishes through the current UTC date. If your game shows a different date, choose that date in the archive once it is available.
