The rare daily word game sweeping the globe. Find what's hidden in plain sight.
Our core value is independence
How OUTLIER stays free of ads, investors and data sales.
OUTLIER exists to be the best daily word game, not to sell your attention. Here is how it stays that way.
Brands cannot pay to appear inside OUTLIER. Not now, not later.
Nobody outside owns a piece of it, so there is no growth pressure pushing the game toward ads or data sales.
Your play history stays with you. It is never sold and never handed to a third party.
Transparent funding
The money comes from players, in two shapes and no others. Patrons pay an amount they choose once a year. Supporters send a single gift. Every figure below is every dollar OUTLIER has taken, listed and unlisted gifts together.
Everyone who chose to be named is on the sponsors board. Nothing anyone pays changes anything in the game: no hints, no extra guesses, no effect on scoring or rank.
Ways to contribute
An annual amount you choose, from $5, through Stripe. Or send a one-time gift instead.
