Using the archive

Getting Around the Phrazle Archive

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.

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.

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 2025, 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.

Phrazle 2025 FAQ

How many Phrazle puzzles were there in 2025?

728 phrases across 364 days — a morning and an afternoon puzzle on each. All are listed below by month.

Can I still play the 2025 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.
