Wagerly

Choose a clue from a grid of categories and values, then set a wager while the clue is still hidden. Reveal it, type your answer, and win or lose your stake. The calibration score rewards betting big on topics you're sure of and small on ones you aren't.

• Pick a cell, then set a wager before the clue is shown
• Reveal and answer, right adds your wager, wrong subtracts it
• Clear the board, or play until your bankroll runs out
• Daily is a shared board; Practice generates a fresh one

• Desktop: click a cell, drag the wager slider, type your answer and press Enter
• Phone & tablet: tap a cell, slide the wager, tap the box to type your answer

• Bet big only where you're confident, calibration, not bravado, wins
• A small wager on a shaky category protects your bankroll
• Use 'All In' sparingly; one wrong max bet can bust you

Wagerly is about self-knowledge and calibrated betting on what you actually know, training metacognition.

• Skills: general knowledge, metacognition, calibration, self-assessment
• Best for: all ages
• For parents & teachers: knowing what you actually know.

A grid of categories and values, a clue revealed after selection, and a wager placed while the clue is still hidden is the structure of Jeopardy!

Making the wager blind is the original pressure, and it is the parent format's own Daily Double.

Betting before seeing the clue is a calibration problem rather than a knowledge one. You are wagering on your own hit rate within a category, which is why the interesting decision is how well you know what you know.
