On October 13, 2026, the daily hunt is all about “Cider Press”. A 14 × 14 grid conceals ten words rated medium, and the layout never changes, so solve times stay fair to compare.
From “Jug” at 3 letters to “Mulled Spice” at 11, the list gives you plenty of shapes to hunt; at this difficulty words run across and down but also climb diagonals and read backwards. “Cider Press” sets the vocabulary for the day, so the decoy letters have to imitate it — near-misses are part of the fun here. As entry #74 of the ongoing run, this date has a permanent home at this URL for anyone working through the back catalog.
Selections snap along straight lines, so a wrong guess costs nothing but a moment — the flash fades and the hunt continues. Brush up with the how-to-play guide, revisit any past date in the archive, and once the daily is done, the puzzle library offers plenty more grids to clear.
