Strata

Five digs a day. Dig less, score more.

Each answer is buried under four layers of clues. The top layer gives the most obscure clue. Each layer you dig through gives an easier clue and costs you points.

LAYER 1 · TOPSOIL · 100–75 pts💎
LAYER 2 · CLAY · 75–50 pts🏺
LAYER 3 · SANDSTONE · 50–25 pts🦴
LAYER 4 · BEDROCK · 25–5 pts🪨

Field rules

  • Each dig lasts 40 seconds. You reach a new layer every 10 seconds.
  • A wrong guess costs 2 seconds. A missed answer leaves an empty pit 🕳️.
  • Small typos are fine. "Mitocondria" counts.
