Frequently asked questions

What is Jumble?

Jumble is a daily word puzzle. Each day gives you a set of scrambled words, a few circled letters in every answer, and a cartoon whose caption is completed by unscrambling the collected letters.

How many words are in a Jumble puzzle?

The Daily Jumble has four scrambled words. The Sunday Jumble uses a longer six-word edition with the same circled-letter mechanic.

Where do the circled letters come from?

Each answer has specific letter positions circled. Reading those letters in order gives you the final scramble, which you rearrange into the cartoon punchline.

When do new Jumble answers appear?

A new Jumble puzzle is dated in Chicago time (America/Chicago), so a fresh puzzle and its answers appear each day at midnight Chicago time.
