Kezaco?

Kezaco? hides a daily mystery behind five clues, and puts the constraint in view from the start: one card is active, the four others remain closed with a padlock drawn on them, and a progress bar announces CLUE 1/5. Below this wall, five numbered lines GUESS 1 to GUESS 5 wait, empty. The answer is typed in full words into a field fixed to the bottom of the page, with no list of choices or virtual keyboard. The site warns that the mystery may be a person, a place, a famous event or something else, and the clue is phrased as an enigmatic sentence rather than as a verifiable fact. Around the puzzle, the homepage runs a banner of scores in points, shows the current season (Season 0, "The Pilot") and announces Season 1 on September 1.

1. From the homepage, open PLAY TODAY'S PUZZLE, or PLAY TODAY'S SPOTLIGHT for the current themed series.
2. Read the active clue: the four following ones remain locked and the top bar shows where you are (CLUE 1/5).
3. Type your answer in full words into the bottom field and validate with SUBMIT.
4. Track your attempts in the PREVIOUS GUESSES table, which keeps the five lines visible from start to finish.

Five padlocks in a row. That's the game's tension held in a single image. You can answer immediately on a deliberately hazy clue, or continue opening more.

What the board shows continuously: the CLUE x/5 bar, four cards closed with a padlock, a card marked ACTIVE CLUE, and five answer lines that fill in as you go. The outcome is not counted as success or failure: the LATEST banner on the homepage displays scores in points, which vary from player to player.

Puzzle du jour

One mystery per day, five clues, five answer lines. It's the main entry from the homepage.

Spotlight

A parallel themed series, flagged LIVE NOW on the homepage and numbered by day: the Premier League clubs are one of the themes.

• The five lines of PREVIOUS GUESSES are displayed from the start, empty: you always know how many you have left without having to count.
• The subject is not constrained: the homepage warns it may be a person, a place or an event. Don't assume they're asking for a proper name of a celebrity.
• The Spotlight runs on a single theme for several days in a row: if the theme speaks to you, it's a second daily part within reach, and you already know what it will be about tomorrow.
