The rare daily word game. Find the hidden in plain sight.
Find the words everyone else missed.
A daily word hunt where common is worthless and rare is everything. Two minutes to learn. Here it is.
Build words from the grid
You're picking 10 words. Every day there's a 5×5 grid of 25 letters — spell any real word, 4 letters or longer. Use a letter as often as it appears in the grid, no more. Letters don't have to touch.
Chase the rare ones
You're not after the most words. You're after the words almost nobody else thought of. Ten guesses a day. A guess that's too short is free — fix it and try again.
Lock in
Done, or out of guesses? Lock in. Your score is final for the day and you earn a rank based on your rarest find. A fresh grid drops every midnight UTC.
How a word scores
A word is worth 100 minus the percentage of players who found it. Same grid, three different words:
One word a handful of people find can outscore a long list of obvious ones. That's the whole game.
The rarity ladder
Every word lands in one of six tiers. The rarer the find, the longer the bar — and the higher the score.
Make it a competition
OUTLIER is better with a rival. Your result page gives you a copyable score and a downloadable card; the Share page has one-tap buttons — text, WhatsApp, X, email — for the game itself. Here's how people make it stick:
Start a daily group chat
One thread with a few friends. Everyone drops their score after they lock in. It takes two minutes a day and it gets competitive fast.
Challenge one person
Send your result and dare them to beat your rarest word. Rarity — not word count — is the bragging right.
Post the card
Your result is a clean shareable card. Screenshot it or download the image and put it wherever your people are.
