Puzzle answers in Daily Orbs are the responses you submit or click while playing a puzzle. Answer records can identify responses as correct or incorrect and include scoring, results, and play timing.
How to Submit an Answer
- Choose your answer. Identify the response you want to give for the puzzle you are playing.
- Submit or click the answer. Daily Orbs supports submitting or clicking puzzle answers. The available information does not specify the controls or answer format for individual puzzles.
- Distinguish your response from its outcome. An answer can be recorded as correct or incorrect. Submitting a response does not, by itself, establish that it is correct.
The available sources do not provide puzzle solutions or describe how to revise an answer, retry after an incorrect response, or reveal the correct answer. Do not assume those options are available for a particular puzzle.
Understand Answer Records
Puzzle answers are associated with several pieces of information:
| Recorded information | What is established |
|---|---|
| Correctness | Answers may be recorded as correct or incorrect. |
| Scoring | Puzzle answers are associated with scoring. |
| Results | Puzzle answers are associated with results. |
| Play timing | Answer records include play timing. |
These details establish what accompanies an answer record, but not how the game calculates a score. In particular, the sources do not explain whether incorrect answers reduce points, whether faster play earns a higher score, or whether timing affects the result at all. Recorded timing is not evidence of a speed bonus or time penalty.
Answer Data and Privacy
Daily Orbs states that it does not send its stored puzzle answers, ratings, feedback messages, email addresses, or Daily Orbs player identifiers to Google Analytics. It does use Google Analytics to understand website traffic and engagement, including information about visited pages and interactions. The distinction is between stored answer data and broader website analytics—not a promise that no interaction information is collected. [src-b56d5c7ab4]
An optional Premium subscription removes ads while you are signed in, but ad-free play does not eliminate the information needed to provide the game or any history you choose to keep. Treat ad removal and answer-data handling as separate matters. [src-b56d5c7ab4]
