Guess today's five-letter Madison word in six tries. Green is the right letter in the right spot, yellow is in the word but somewhere else, gray isn't in it.

daily puzzle

Drag from tent 1 (grab a tote) through every square of the sidewalk, once each, reaching the tents in number order and finishing at the last one. Dark bars block the way. Drag back to step back, or tap any square of your trail to go back to it.

    Vilas Squirrel

  • How can "Today's Picks" say "A quiet day in Madison." when we're all loudly voting?

  • The bug w/ chair stack seems fixed. Thanks boss!

    Willy Badger

    There is a bug that jumps the page when you reset chair stack - I pushed a fix a was unable to reproduce the bug, but Ill review again if its still appearing for some

    Nov 2madtown.today

    • Except it isn't actually

      Nov 2

    • What's the bug?

      MadisonMinnesconsinNov 2

    • Maybes it's the config that jumps the user down to the next activity on the page, firing too early? It's happened for me before where clicking into the chair stack game would jump me down the page.

  • Using iPhone to play the chair stack game, pressing reset makes the page jump. It’s a little frustrating.

  • This is Fitchburg erasure :'(

  • Hello from Alaska!

  • Lap should be called Snake on the Lake for WSUM radio

  • Lap doesn’t ever let me select the last tent

    • The last tent has to be your last square, not just the last in the tent order. If you still have white squares left when you get to the last tent it won't count.

      Monroe Squirrel 55Oct 24

Fri, Oct 23

  • I love chair stack! But the two green or teal colors are so similar! Can one change to gray? You rock!

    Vilas Badger 50

    • The shapes help with that! Button at bottom

      Oct 24

    • The only irony is that the blue/green colors also have fairly similar symbols 😂

      Vilas SquirrelOct 24

    • No shapes today?

      Oct 24

  • Where are the shapes in the chair stack chairs?!

    there is a button to add them back to the right of the hint button - didnt mean to startle hiding them by default

    Oct 23madtown.today

    • Can I plus one this?! I liked the shapes 😊

      Vilas Badger 63Oct 23

    • Guessing they're for accessibility. If you can't differentiate between the colors, you can use the symbols!

      Vilas SquirrelOct 23

    • Please add the shapes back by default!

      Oct 24

  • Go Brewers!

  • Hello from east side!

  • Chairs is soooo hard o((⊙﹏⊙))o.

    67

  • Four Lakes has been having way too many people lately. People are so hard because you literally know who they are or you dont, and there is not an easy way to logic them out.

    Bascom Walleye 77

    sorry, working on improving this! I realized I've been putting far too much trivia into the puzzles which makes it not very fun. This should improve in the coming days, keep me posted if theyre more fun to play in a few days!

    • I live in the meadowood neighborhood. Anything around here off of s Whitney is a good place to go. I am sure there are other neighborhoods that are great as well, but just giving you an option. :)

      Atwood Curd 68Oct 23

  • For some reason my brain does not like the Counterclockwise game :(

    Monona Otter 94

    • Today is especially rough, usually I don't struggle this much.

      Monona Muskie 15Oct 23

  • Over 90% failure on the Four Lakes today. For true Madison sickos only, I guess! (...I was one of the failures)

      Yahara Loon 57Oct 21

    • Today's chair stack has me strugglinggggggg

      Vilas Otter 77Oct 21

    • Most important rule: keep one empty stack. If you move something onto the empty, it better be temporary

  • Chair stack felt HARD today!

    Bascom Walleye 77

    • OK, I'm glad it wasn't just me!

      Monona Otter 94Oct 20

  • Oh, maybe add the ability to see a poll result without voting. I didn't go to high school here nor do I care about sports, but it would be fun to see the results without skewing them.

  • So so sleepy, good morning.

    • The crane is still there!

      Monona Otter 94Oct 16

  • I know John Nolan is just a banner, but if you wanted to add more lanes it would make a fun Frogger game, or perhaps a Beltline Frogger game.

    Vilas Loon 54

    • The mortal sin of Nolan v. Nolen :(

      Monona Otter 94Oct 16

  • Today's match 4 is partly wrong. 5 apples but gala doesn't count as one even tho it is.

    Willy Badger

    • Gala doesn't go with the apple group. It's a red herring

      Oct 16

    • That's The Twist 😈

      Monroe Sandhill Crane 34Oct 16

    • That's how Connections works. Gotta find the four groups of four, not any amount of words that could be connected.

      Tenney Otter 58Oct 16

    • Part of the game is that some words have multiple meanings and could belong to multiple groups, and you have to figure out where the tricky ones go through process of elimination :)

      Willy Loon 40Oct 16

    • Thats been the case for a few of them. Words with double meanings that end up matching multiple groups. Tricky, tricky!

      Oct 16

  • One day I'll get chairstack in 31. Today is not that day.

    Monona Otter 94
