Measurements reproduce the regular daily puzzle. Ratios compare the stated axes, not area or volume. Today’s answers and the independent unlimited game use different rounds.

How to read these answers

Resize each target beside the known reference. The regular daily game has five rounds, each worth up to 100 points. Match the labeled measurement direction: a target’s height may be compared with a reference’s length.

Open each answer only when you are ready for a spoiler. The date shown identifies the puzzle: these games change on a player’s local calendar day, while this archive publishes through the current UTC date. If your game shows a different date, choose that date in the archive once it is available.
