How to play Cosmillion
One launch a day takes about three minutes. This is what happens from the launch pad to the share button.
Press Launch
Press Play above, then Launch. Today’s seven prompts are the same for every player.
Read the prompt
Each one asks you to name something, like a fruit or a spice. The 25 seconds start straight away.
Type one answer that fits
Small spelling slips are fine, and a close typo gets a “did you mean” to confirm. You see its rank before the next prompt.
Land and challenge
After the seventh answer you see how each one ranked. Share sends a friend a link to the same seven prompts.
Cosmillion ranks and points
Every accepted answer lands in one of six ranks. The common answer most people type is worth 10; the rarest one on the board is worth 100.
| Prompt | Common answer | Rare answer |
|---|---|---|
| Name a fruit | Apple, +10 | Jabuticaba, +100 |
| Name a spice | Turmeric or pepper, +10 | Grains of selim, +100 |
Both examples are Cosmillion’s own. Seven +100 answers make a perfect 700, which Cosmillion says sends the rocket beyond the galaxy.
How to find a rarer answer in 25 seconds
The first word that comes to mind is usually the one everyone else types. These habits help you get past it before the timer runs out.
Let the first three go
For “name a fruit”, apple, banana and orange arrive first for nearly everyone. Answer the fourth or fifth thing you think of instead.
Travel in your head
Picture a market in another country. Jabuticaba comes from Brazil; regional foods, plants and place names often sit at the top ranks.
Watch out for the clever obvious
The answer that feels smart in two seconds often lands in Overthought. If it came that easily, others probably had it too.
Keep one sure answer ready
Spelling is forgiven but guessing is not, so an answer that doesn’t fit scores nothing. When time is short, a common answer still lifts you +10.

Playing Cosmillion on this page

Cosmillion FAQ
What is Cosmillion?
Cosmillion is a free daily word game from cosmillion.com. Every player gets the same seven prompts a day, like “Name a fruit”, with 25 seconds for each. Any answer that fits counts, and the rarer it is, the more points it scores and the higher your rocket flies.
What time does Cosmillion reset?
A new set of seven prompts goes live at midnight New York time. Cosmillion gives that as 5 am in London and 10:30 am in India.
How many points can you score in Cosmillion?
Each answer scores from 10 to 100 depending on how rare it is, so seven answers at the top rank make a perfect 700.
What does Overthought mean in Cosmillion?
It is the +15 rank, one step above Tourist. Cosmillion uses it for an answer that feels clever but that plenty of other players thought of too.
Does spelling count?
Not much. Cosmillion accepts spelling variants, plurals and accents, and for a close typo it asks “did you mean” so you can confirm. An answer that does not fit the prompt is not accepted.
Is Cosmillion free?
Yes. The daily game is free with no sign-up and no download. An optional one-time All Access purchase on cosmillion.com adds unlimited launches, the archive of past days and themed packs.
Can I play Cosmillion more than once a day?
The free game is one launch a day. More launches come with All Access on cosmillion.com. On this site you can also play Daily Rare Answer, which has its own five prompts every day.
How do I challenge a friend?
When your rocket lands, press Share and send the link. Your friend plays the same seven prompts, free and with no sign-up, and sees whether they beat your score. A share shows your score and coloured squares, not your answers.
Is this the official Cosmillion?
The game on this page is the official one, loaded from cosmillion.com. This page is written by Daily Rare Answer, which is not connected to the Cosmillion team. To buy All Access or sign in, open cosmillion.com in its own tab.
Is Cosmillion like Krillion?
Yes, in the way that matters: both are rare answer games, where many answers are correct and the uncommon ones score the most. Cosmillion adds a 25-second timer and a rocket that climbs with your score. Daily Rare Answer, on our home page, is another game in the same family.
