Good to know

• How scoring works. The exact year scores 1,000, one year off 950, five off 875 and ten off 650; 80 or more years off scores nothing.
• 5,000 points max. Five headlines at up to 1,000 points each.
• Archives and stats. Missed a day? Past issues are in the archives, and Stats tracks your scores and streaks.
