Daily Orbs FAQ

Short answers to the questions players actually search for.

What is Daily Orbs?

Daily Orbs is a free daily knowledge game you play in the browser at dailyorbs.com. Each day serves four questions — one each from trivia, words, geography, and science. You answer to collect glowing orbs, and completing the day's set of orbs wins the day. It is made by the developer of Listdle.

Where can I play Daily Orbs?

The game runs at dailyorbs.com — free, in any modern browser, no account needed. Each day's puzzle lives at a date-based URL (for example dailyorbs.com/2026-09-25), so past days stay addressable.

Is Daily Orbs free?

Yes. The daily game is free to play in the browser. The official site is ad-supported; there is no paywall in front of the daily questions.

What are the four categories in Daily Orbs?

Every daily set includes one question from each of four categories: trivia, words, geography, and science. That mix is what separates Daily Orbs from single-category daily games — each category rewards a different kind of knowledge.

Answering correctly collects orbs for the day; collect the full set of orbs to win the day. Our How to Play section covers the mechanics in detail — including what changes when a new day starts.

Do you publish answers with spoilers?

Only behind a clear spoiler structure: our daily pages lead with spoiler-light hints per category, then walk through the full answers with the reasoning explained — stating the date we verified each one. If you only want a nudge, you can stop reading before the reveal.

Stuck on today's orbs?

Get the reasoning, not just the answer. Our daily page starts with spoiler-light hints per category and explains how each answer is derived — with the date we verified it.
