How We Verify Our Answers

Getting the right answer matters more to us than getting a post out quickly. This page explains exactly how Game Answers Daily checks each day’s puzzle answers before they are published.

Our two-source rule

Before we publish any answer, we compare it against at least two independent, established sources that report that day’s solution. We only publish when those sources agree. The sources we use are well-known puzzle and news outlets that publish daily answer guides — not random social posts, and not a single unverified claim.

What we do when sources disagree

If two sources disagree, or if we can only find one reliable source, we do not publish that game’s answer that day. We would rather skip a game than risk sending a reader to the wrong solution. A skipped game is not a guess, and it is not filled in later from memory.

Answers are never guessed

We do not invent answers, work them out by hunch, or copy a reader’s comment as fact. Hints are written in our own words, but the solutions themselves must pass the two-source check first. Puzzles that rely on visual placement, such as domino-style boards, get extra care: if the placement cannot be checked clearly in text form from two sources, we leave that game out for the day.

Corrections Policy

If an answer we publish is ever shown to be wrong, we will correct the post as soon as we can and add a short note on that post saying what changed and when. Readers who spot a possible error can tell us through the Contact page, and we will re-check the answer against our sources before making any change. We keep corrections visible rather than quietly rewriting history, because trust is built on being honest about mistakes.
