What is OUTLIER?

OUTLIER is the rare daily word game sweeping the globe, where the rarest finds win. Players across dozens of cities and five continents get the same 5×5 grid of 25 letters and ten guesses. Build real words of four letters or longer; the less obvious the word, the more it scores. One puzzle a day, the same grid worldwide, ranked on rarity out of 1,000. Free to play, and everyone is welcome. Challenge your friends, share your score, and see who hunts down the rarest words. And no two days play the same: each board has its own terrain — from wide-open, word-rich days, to Decoy boards that are friendlier than they look, to Mystery days where you won't know what you're facing until it's over.

Same rare-word engine. The Daily is you against the world. Live is you against your people, in real time.
