True or False

About True or False

True or False is the daily dozen: twelve assertions from the almanac, two from each branch of knowledge, and some of them handsome fabrications. Judge each and learn at once why the false ones fooled you. Free in your browser, no ads, no sign-up.

How to play

Each dawn brings twelve assertions, two apiece from the six branches of knowledge. Judge each in turn as so or not so, and the truth is revealed at once, so a wrong reading still leaves you wiser. Out-read the Sexton, who faces the same dozen every morning, to keep your streak.

Tips

Trust the specific over the sweeping, and be wary of a claim with an oddly exact number, that precision is often the tell. A statement that feels designed to surprise you is worth a second thought.
