Get in touch
Email [email protected] with any question, bug report, or suggestion. We read every message and reply within a few days.
When reporting a bug, please include:
- What you were trying to do
- What happened instead
- Your device and OS (e.g. iPhone 15 Pro / iOS 26.4, Pixel 8 / Android 15, MacBook / Safari)
- A screenshot if you can capture one
How to play
- One new organism each day. You see photos and a hook describing it.
- Place it on the tree of life: pick a kingdom, then a phylum, then a class, and so on down to species.
- Green = correct rank, red = wrong. Each wrong guess explains the difference so you learn as you go.
- Five guesses total. How far down the tree can you get?
Common questions
The puzzle won’t load.
Force-quit the app and reopen it, or refresh the page in your browser. The puzzle is hosted on Cloudflare and rotates at midnight Pacific time, so a brief blip during deployment is rare but possible. If it persists for more than a few minutes, please email us with the time you saw it.
When does the new puzzle drop?
Every day at midnight Pacific time (UTC−8 in winter, UTC−7 in summer). Everyone in the world plays the same puzzle each day.
I lost my streak after switching devices.
Game state and streaks are stored on your device only — there’s no account system, so streaks don’t sync across devices. If you reinstall or clear browser data, your streak resets.
How do I turn off the daily reminder?
On iOS: open the iOS Settings app → Notifications → Lifle, and turn off “Allow Notifications.” You can also toggle the reminder off from the result screen after finishing a puzzle.
How do I delete my data?
Everything is local to your device — there’s nothing on our servers to delete. Clearing site data for lifle.app in your browser, or uninstalling the app, removes all game state and stats. See the delete data page for full instructions.
