Objective

Answer crossword-style trivia clues and use the letters from your answers to gradually reveal a hidden quote or fact in the grid.

Playlin'sGuide

Acrostic is a daily word puzzle from Sporcle where you solve trivia clues to reveal a hidden quote or fact, one letter at a time.

Each puzzle gives you a list of trivia questions labeled A through however many it takes. Answer a clue, and each letter of your answer fills into numbered blanks in a master grid. Those letters, read in order, reveal a mystery sentence or trivia fact. The twist? Letters flow both ways. Solving part of the quote can help you crack a stubborn clue, and vice versa.

  • Answer trivia clues to fill in words.
  • Each letter in your answer corresponds to a numbered square in the quote grid.
  • Letters you place appear in both the answer and the quote simultaneously.
  • Use cross referencing. Stuck on a clue? Check the quote grid for hints. Missing letters in the quote? Solve more clues.
  • A new puzzle drops every day.

Why we like it:

  • βœ…The two way solve is deeply satisfying, especially when one unlock cascades into three more.
  • βœ…Trivia spans history, pop culture, literature, and science, so every puzzle teaches you something.
  • βœ…Short enough to finish in one sitting, but clever enough to feel like a real accomplishment.

Hint: Start with the clues you know cold. Even a single confident answer seeds the quote grid with letters that make tougher clues suddenly obvious.
