Today's Parseword Puzzle — September 5, 2026
Puzzle for September 5, 2026 (UTC). Split the clue, then reduce the wordplay to the answer.
About the daily Parseword puzzle
The daily Parseword puzzle posts a brand-new cryptic-style clue every day at midnight UTC — one clue, shared by everyone who plays that day. Split it into its definition and its wordplay, then fold the wordplay down one transform at a time — an anagram, a reversal, a hidden word, and so on — tapping the highlighted tiles and choosing the correct result at each step. When a single fragment remains and it matches the definition, the puzzle is solved. Finishing today's clue keeps your solving streak alive; miss a day and it resets, so today's puzzle is the one that counts.
Only today's clue extends the streak, but nothing here is ever locked away: browse the archive to replay any past day's puzzle, or work through the strategy guide for habits — like learning the indicator words that flag an anagram or a reversal — that make the wordplay click faster. Once today's clue is solved, the numbered puzzle library and unlimited mode are there whenever you want another round before tomorrow's puzzle arrives. If the name reminds you of Wordle, how Parseword compares to Wardle is worth a look — the two share a spirit but not a mechanic.
