Play a day you missed for a score that sticks, or replay one you didn’t.
Every game on Noggin is marked out of 100, so a day adds up to one number. Here is how this one earns it.
| Result | Score |
|---|---|
| Solved on the first check | 100 |
| Solved on the second | 85 |
| Solved on the third | 70 |
| Out of checks | Up to 33, for the tiles you locked |
A board you did not finish still scores for what you got right. Tiles lock as you find them, so that count is everything found across all three checks, not just the last guess.
Four of six is as close as a failed board can get — find five and the sixth has nowhere else to be — which is why the ceiling is 33, comfortably below the 70 for scraping a win.
The same for every game, including streaks and how the day is totalled.
