Tilt — Balance the scale by eye — one puzzle a day

Tilt is a free daily estimation puzzle game played in the browser. Each day presents one puzzle of five rounds: you see a single item on one side of a scale (e.g., one apple) and a target item on the other (e.g., an elephant), and must estimate how many of the first it takes to balance the scale — without any measurement tools. You drag items onto the scale or type a number, then weigh your guess; the closer you are, the more points you earn. Five rounds make up a day's puzzle worth up to 500 points. Past puzzles remain playable for a limited window, results can be shared, and an Android app is planned via Google Play.

Key Features

Daily estimation puzzle

One new puzzle a day with five rounds, each asking 'how many does it take?' to balance a scale between two very different items.

Guess by eye

Drag items onto the scale or tap the number field to type a guess; the scale stays locked while you guess so you must trust your intuition rather than test.

Scoring and streaks

The closer your guess is to the real answer, the more points you earn — up to 500 points per day. Past days add to your stats, and streaks sync across devices with Tilt+.

Bonus rounds

5 extra bonus rounds a day for free, or watch a short ad for 5 more rounds.

Past puzzles archive

Missed a day? Past puzzles stay playable (last 30 days free; every past puzzle with Tilt+), with past days counting toward stats though not toward your streak.

Share results

Share your result after playing, Wordle-style.

Cross-game tie-in

From the same developer as 'It Took', another daily game, with cross-promotion between the two.

No account required

Play and send feedback anonymously — no account or email needed for the core game.

How It Works

Start the day's puzzle

Open the site (or the upcoming Android app) and play today's puzzle — one puzzle a day, five rounds per puzzle.

Estimate and place your guess

For each round, one item sits on the left of the scale and a much larger item on the right. Drag to pile items on, or tap the number field to type a quantity.

Weigh it

When you submit, the scale is weighed. The scale stays locked while you guess, so you commit before seeing the answer.

Score across five rounds

The closer your estimate, the more points you earn. Five rounds total a maximum of 500 points, then you can share your result or move to the next round/puzzle.
