✨The Daily Spell ✨

Unscramble the headline by dropping letters into place and discover today's top story from a magical world. Every day is a new installment, and every week is a new story arc, so try solving this week's!

• You can also find The Daily Spell at the-daily-spell.com!
  The game is the same on both itch and the site, so play wherever is more convenient. If you're using Chrome or Safari, the site is recommended to get around copy/save limitations on itch.

📝 How to play

The Daily Spell is a drop quote puzzle. Letters are organized by column and dropped into the right row to spell words. Completing the headline reveals that day's news article.

🧩 A new puzzle daily
