If you’re a fan of Jeopardy — or were one of those kids who read encyclopedias — you’ll dig Revealed, a free daily game from Britannica. Each puzzle hides key terms from a real encyclopedia entry, and your job is to figure out what it’s describing using as few clues as possible. It’s quick, oddly satisfying—and a great workout for your inference skills.

Feel like you’re behind because you didn’t specialize early? A December paper in the journal Science offers some quiet reassurance.

But over time, people who explore broadly—and combine multiple skills—tend to outperform specialists. The chart below makes that pattern clear.

  2. Elite colleges have an extra-time-on-tests problem. (Atlantic)

  1. Today is January 6, one of the most significant days in recent U.S. history. We still haven’t fully reckoned with the consequences. (NY Times)
