How Headlines works
Headlines is a free daily word game. Each morning we publish one quirky real news story, sourced from Wikinews. You read the story, write the funniest tabloid headline you can, and an AI editor scores it from 1 to 10 — rewarding sharp puns and wordplay tied to the actual facts of the story. Then the community votes, and the best clippings top the day's leaderboard. One story, one headline, once a day. Read more about the game and the AI judge →
