Daily · One minute

Nine letters. Sixty seconds. One headline.

News Mix pulls nine letters out of one of your headlines and gives readers a minute to make as many words as they can. When the clock stops, the story the letters came from is right there waiting.

News Mix: the start screen with the day's headline, the nine-letter board with a one-minute timer, and the end screen with the article and score

Engage your audience

Recurring

A fresh set of letters every day, released at midnight, builds a daily habit.

Newsletter gold

It becomes one of the most popular items in your newsletter — a reason to open, and a reason to keep scrolling.

Loyalty

Give your audience something they genuinely look forward to, and you build a little more brand loyalty every day.

News Mix

A minute is exactly the right amount of time.

Short enough that readers play it on the way to something else, long enough to feel like a proper game. Every accepted word scores, longer words score more, and the running total sits right next to the board.

  • Nine letters drawn from one of your headlines
  • One minute on the clock
  • Words of three letters or more
  • Letters can be reused, and need not be adjacent
  • Longer words earn more points
  • Score, rating and shareable result
  • Played, average points and streak
  • Article teaser and link on the end screen
