I built a game. TxtIQ is a 10-question IQ sprint – logic sequences, word analogies, mental math – with a daily challenge, 6 unlockable question packs, and stats that track your IQ trend. Free, no account, and your scores never leave your device. Play one round today – it takes about three minutes.

🧠 The launch

1. TxtIQ – how smart are you in 10 questions?
10 questions per game from 80 puzzles across logic, verbal, and math. Three difficulties (Easy 10 min/5 hints, Medium 5/3, Hard 3/1), hints that eliminate two wrong answers, and a plain-English explanation after every answer.

2. The Daily Challenge – same 10 questions for everyone
One shared Classic Mix set per day, picked by the date. Finish it to grow your day-streak; miss a day and it resets.
Start your streak →

3. Six packs, six achievements, real stats
Space, Animals, Math, Words, and Science packs unlock as you play (3/5/7/10/15 games). Achievements cover first game, perfect score, speed finish, 5-in-a-row, no-hint runs, and unlocking everything – plus average IQ, accuracy, trend, and your last 50 games.
