FAQ
How do I play Peerkle on mobile?
Peerkle works on any modern mobile browser. Drag items to arrange the ladder, or tap to pick and tap a slot to place. Submit when all eight rungs are filled.
What time does Peerkle reset?
Every puzzle is pinned to 00:00 UTC, so the whole world ranks the same eight items on the same date.
What do the glyphs mean?
After you submit a guess, each rung shows a filled circle for the correct position, a half circle for off by one, and an empty circle for off by two or more. The glyphs encode position-distance only, never the underlying values, so they don't leak the axis units mid-puzzle.
