Venny
Venny is a daily word game where you name one thing that fits two given categories at once; rarer answers score higher and a new puzzle appears every midnight.
Play VennyA fresh puzzle is waiting for you.
Venny challenges players to find a single answer that belongs to both of two provided categories. Each round gives you 45 seconds to think of an item that sits in the overlap of the two circles. You type answers until your first accepted response locks your entry. Wrong attempts do not cost anything, so you can try freely before the game accepts an answer.
Scoring rewards less obvious responses: rarer answers earn more points and there is one special top answer per round called the Venny that is worth 100 points. A perfect game is seven Vennies for a total of 700 points. Every player faces the same daily puzzle, and the site replaces it with a new one at midnight local time.
How to play Venny
- Read the two category prompts and imagine the overlap between them.
- Type a word or phrase that fits both categories and press Enter.
- Use the 45-second timer to try different ideas; wrong guesses are allowed without penalty.
- Your first accepted answer becomes your final entry for that round.
- Look for the special Venny answer, which yields the highest single-round score.
Tips for Venny
- Start with obvious overlaps to secure points quickly, then use remaining time to think of rarer items that score higher.
- Consider different senses, synonyms, and broader or narrower category members to find less common answers.
- If you see a likely Venny, submit it even if it feels risky, because it is worth a large score bonus.
- Practice thinking of cross-category items under time pressure to improve retrieval speed during the 45-second round.
