Using the archive
Getting Around the Phrazle Archive
01
Both phrases sit on one page
Phrazle runs a morning puzzle and an afternoon one, and they are different boards. Every dated page here carries both, because that is how players ask for them.
02
Scan a year rather than clicking through it
Each phrase is printed beside its date on the year pages, so a phrase you half-remember can be found by reading rather than by opening every day in turn.
03
The pattern is the useful part
Each dated page shows the word count and the letters per word. That is exactly what the board shows you before you solve it, which makes an old answer useful as practice rather than only as a record — browse the full archive.
How to play
How to Solve a Phrazle Phrase
Three guesses of information beats one guess of luck.
STEP 01
Read the shape first
Word lengths are visible before your first guess and rule out most phrases immediately.
STEP 02
Spend guess one on coverage
Open with common letters spread across several words. The first line is for mapping, not for winning.
STEP 03
Move purple letters across words
A purple tile means right letter, wrong word. Re-place it before you change it.
How we check
Verified Answers, Not Guesses
How we verify every phrase published in 2024, morning and afternoon
Each phrase is recorded against its published date and checked against the source. The routine is in our methodology and the standards in our editorial policy.
Reviewed by Priya Raghunathan, Word Games Editor at Puzzle Solved. The full checking routine is in the methodology, and the standards every page is held to are in the editorial policy.

Phrazle 2024 FAQ
How many Phrazle puzzles were there in 2024?
732 phrases across 366 days — a morning and an afternoon puzzle on each. All are listed below by month.
Can I still play the 2024 phrases?
Not in the game itself — Phrazle replaces its board each session. The answers stay here, with the word and letter pattern of each phrase.
How do I find a phrase I half-remember?
Both phrases are printed next to their date below, so you can scan a whole month at once instead of opening each day. The full archive lists every year.
