DAILY GUIDE

Long Shot Hoops archive

The official game keeps a past-games list you can still play. This archive is the written index: seven prompts per day, the accepted-name count once a day has closed, and one representative 100-point name. It is not a dump of every accepted answer.

How to read a row

“Accepted names” is the size of that day’s list, not a score you can reach. “100-pt names” is how many Buzzer Beaters the closed board contained. The example is one of those names, tied to the prompt stored with it. A live day shows prompts only, because the name list is still closed.

Play the old board

Open the game and use Past Games. Game #1 is 27 Oct 2026. I link there instead of rebuilding the round here. The game page does not allow an embed.

Want the pattern across days, not one date? The strategy guide groups prompts into themes. Today’s still-open board is on today.

Questions people ask

Can you play past Long Shot games?

Yes. The game page lists past boards back to Game #1. This archive explains them; the playable copies stay on the official site.

Where are all the answers?

Each closed day has thousands of accepted names. This page keeps the prompts, the count, and one 100-point example. The full list is not reprinted.

Why is today’s row missing a deep cut?

The current board’s name list stays closed until midnight Eastern. Prompts are public; the example name is not.
