How to play Stat!
Four daily medical puzzles, each with its own way of thinking. Here is how every game works, what the feedback means and how to solve it in fewer tries.
How Stat! works
Stat! is four medical puzzles that reset every day. Syndrome asks you to work up a patient and name the diagnosis. Traits has you deduce a hidden disease from six of its characteristics. Associations gives you sixteen findings to sort into four diseases. Tangent hides a structure somewhere in the body and scores every guess by how close it lands.
A few things are the same across all four games:
- New puzzles arrive at midnight, your local time, and everyone gets the same puzzles on the same day. Tangent has three daily puzzles, one each for organs, bones and muscles, and vessels and nerves.
- Each game has a limited number of tries: six diagnoses in Syndrome, fifteen guesses in Traits, twelve submissions in Associations and ten guesses in Tangent.
- Hints help when you are stuck: two per game in Syndrome and Traits and three in Associations. Hints never cost a try. Tangent has no hints.
- Your progress saves as you play, so you can leave a puzzle and pick it up later the same day.
- Results are easy to share without spoilers: sharing shows your time, tries and hints, never the answer.
- Streaks and statistics track your daily habit. Your streak grows with every day you finish at least one daily puzzle, solved or missed.
- Past days are in the archive, so you can replay any puzzle you missed. The archive is free on the website and part of Stat! Pro in the apps.
