Shallow water, real scoring
Practice mode is the kiddie pool with Olympic scoring: the game starts the instant the page loads, every answer is rarity-scored across the same six tiers, and the depth odometer ticks exactly as it would in a real dive. The only difference is that nothing counts.
Use it to calibrate. Notice which answers land Plankton and which surprise you as Rare — that gap between expectation and result is the entire skill of the game, and practice is where you close it without consequence.
The takeaway
Ten practice dives will teach you more than any guide: your brain starts skipping the obvious answer on its own. When that happens, you are ready for the daily.
Practice FAQ
What is practice mode for?
Practice is zero-pressure water. The game starts instantly, scores exactly like a real dive, and nothing is saved — so you can learn how rarity scoring feels before your daily dive counts.
Do practice scores count anywhere?
No. Practice dives never touch your daily results, streaks, or stats. It is purely a learning pool.
How is practice different from unlimited?
Practice auto-starts the moment the page loads and keeps things light; unlimited is the full training ground with saved progress. Use practice to warm up, unlimited to train.
Can I practice the exact daily questions?
No — the daily set stays secret until you play it. Practice draws from the wider bank so the daily always feels fresh.
