Happy Topsy-turvy day. Every card on the site is upside down until midnight UTC, and members who open their card today collect a stamp for it.
Games
Storm Cellar
Down the steps and out of the rain: games to play while it storms. Free for everyone, card or no card. Members keep a streak, collect a stamp or two, and see how their linked cards did.
- Weatherword One weather word a day, four to seven letters. Six skies to find it. Today's word is waiting
- Fan Flight Fan a paper postcard to the mailbox through the week's weather. You never steer the postcard: your fan's breeze does.
- Pressure Garden New Water the flower beds and keep the picnic dry, without touching a cloud: place highs and lows, and the wind turns around them. Today's garden is planted
- Snowflake Lab New Read today's flake from its centre outward, and set the five layers of sky that grow it, as Nakaya did. Today's flake is falling
- Lightning Path New Keep the barn, the tent, and the picnic out of the storm's reach with a few lightning rods, the way engineers do. Today's storm is gathering
- Dew Point Morning New Plan the night with a fleece, a fan, and a sprinkler, so the dew comes to the web, the lawn, and the rose just before sunrise. Tonight's forecast is in
The arcade
Quick rounds with the keyboard or a finger. Play as often as you like: your best round of the day counts.
- Hail Hop New Ride the updraft up through the cold and grow a hailstone ring by ring, then land it on the hail pad. Today's storm is building
- Sleet Sorter New Warm and cool the sky's three layers so each falling flake lands as the snow, rain, sleet, or ice the ground below is asking for. Today's orders are in
- Umbrella Pfauguin New Turn the umbrella over to catch the rain for the garden, and back up before the hail comes down. Catch a sunshower for a rainbow. Today's forecast is in
- Thunderhead New Be a little gust: puff the fair-weather clouds together until one towers into a thunderhead, before they rain themselves away. Today's sky is warming
- Kite Day New Fly the pfauguin's kite until sunset: pull the line in when the wind drops, let it run when a gust comes, and catch ribbons on the way. Today's wind is up
- Raindrop Race New Race a raindrop down the window: swallow beads to grow and run faster, borrow the other drops' trails, and reach the sill before you run dry. Today's window is wet
Record highs. The cellar's best, by card number: the fewest skies, the longest streaks, the highest flights, and the day's puzzles and arcade games.
