Yet

You're given a short puzzle to solve by typing an answer. Wrong guesses aren't penalised, they grow your brain meter and unlock the next hint, so persistence pays. After solving, you reframe a fixed-mindset statement by choosing the kind, growth-minded version.

• Type your answer to the challenge and submit
• Each wrong try grows the brain meter and unlocks a new hint
• Solve it, then pick the growth-minded reframe of a self-talk statement
• Daily is shared; Practice gives a new challenge each time

• Desktop: type into the answer box and press Enter or click Try; click a reframe choice
• Phone & tablet: tap the box to type, tap Try, then tap a reframe

• Don't fear wrong answers, they literally fuel your meter and reveal hints
• Read each unlocked hint carefully before your next attempt
• The best reframe is kind to yourself and points toward growth

Yet is a puzzle wrapped in a growth-mindset lesson, where failed attempts are the point.

• Skills: growth mindset, persistence, learning from failure
• Best for: roughly grades 3–10 (ages 8–16)
• For parents & teachers: failure as part of learning.

Wrong guesses that grow a brain meter and unlock the next hint, rather than costing anything, is Carol Dweck's growth mindset built into the scoring — and the game's name is her phrase, the power of yet.

Rewarding persistence rather than penalising error is the original design.

The research is more qualified than the popular version: effects on achievement are modest and strongest for students who were struggling. But the specific claim here — that framing failure as progress keeps people trying — is the part that has held up best.
