Rules
- Open cosmillion.com. The free launch needs no account.
- Read the prompt. Type any valid answer. A common answer still scores.
- You have 25 seconds. The same seven prompts are served to everyone that day.
- The public game page says “Spelling is forgiven, guessing is not.” The how-to adds that variants, plurals, and accents are accepted, and a close spelling can return “did you mean.”
- Share the result card if you want. The streak stays on the free layer.
Scoring
The official teaching pair is “Name a fruit”: Apple is +10, Jabuticaba is +100. That pair explains the ladder. It is not a promise about today’s board. Each real prompt has its own answer list. A missing rarest line on a past board stays blank here; I do not promote another answer into that slot.
Ranks
| Points | Rank | Official line | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| +10 | Tourist | Everyone packed that one. A nudge, not a burn. | 1 source · official publisher |
| +15 | Overthought | Felt clever. The whole crew thought of it too. | 1 source · official publisher |
| +30 | Cadet | Solid. Flying with the squadron. | 1 source · official publisher |
| +60 | Astronaut | Genuinely uncommon. Clean burn. | 1 source · official publisher |
| +85 | Deep Space | Almost nobody went there. Beautiful. | 1 source · official publisher |
| +100 | One in a Galaxy | Absurd. The rarest answer on the board. | 1 source · official publisher |
Reset
| Clock | When the new launch starts | Status |
|---|---|---|
| IST (UTC+5:30) | 00:00 | 1 source |
| UTC | 18:30 the previous date | 1 source |
| US Eastern (EST, UTC−5) | 13:30 the previous date | Converted from the IST line |
| US Pacific (PST, UTC−8) | 10:30 the previous date | Converted from the IST line |
The IST line is the only published reset. The US rows are clock conversions of that single line, not a second source. Daylight-saving dates shift the US clocks by an hour; the IST midnight does not move.
Rejected
Players on Reddit have described answers that the board would not take. The only published rule I will stand behind is the official one: variants, plurals, accents, and a “did you mean” for a near spelling. I am not turning those complaints into a rejection rate.
Questions people ask
How long is a Cosmillion round?
Seven prompts at 25 seconds each, so the timed part is under three minutes. The official daily-brain page also describes the session as about three minutes.
What is a perfect score?
700. That is seven prompts at +100, the One in a Galaxy tier.
Does spelling have to be exact?
The official how-to says variants, plurals, and accents are accepted, and a near miss can offer a “did you mean” prompt. That rule is one source, the official FAQ.
When does the board reset?
Midnight India Standard Time (UTC+5:30), which is 18:30 UTC the previous calendar day. That reset line is one source, the official how-to.
