Two Truths, One AI Lie: How Artificially Incorrect Works

Here's what a round looks like. The screen shows a topic — say, Octopuses — and three statements appear below it.

Two are true: "Octopuses have three hearts" and "They can fit through any gap wider than their beak, the only hard part of their body." One is false: "Octopuses typically live 20 to 30 years in the wild." You tap the one you think is the lie.

The game reveals your pick immediately and explains each statement — why the truths hold up and what the lie got wrong. (Octopuses live a few years, not decades.) Then you move to the next round.

What the game is

Artificially Incorrect is a free daily puzzle in that shape: three statements, two true, one AI-generated lie, five rounds per day. Like Wordle, everyone gets the same challenge and you can share an emoji grid when you're done.

It sounds easy. Most people find out on round two or three that it isn't.

The daily challenge and scoring

Every player worldwide gets the same five rounds each day — same topics, same statements, same lie. The set resets at midnight. You can compare scores with friends and come back tomorrow for a fresh batch.

Scoring is one point per correct round, maximum 5/5. Your streak only grows on a perfect day — score 4/5 and it resets to zero. Miss a day entirely and it resets too. That strict streak rule is why most people play carefully rather than rushing.

How the lies are built

The lie isn't invented from scratch. The model starts with a verified true fact about the topic and alters one piece of it — a number, a date, a name, a location — while keeping the rest of the sentence accurate.

It won't swap the most famous fact everyone knows. On a moon landing round, the year stays 1969. The change targets something smaller that you might half-remember but can't quite verify. When players get it wrong, they usually say "I had no idea that was false" — not "there was no way to know."
