Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
The Daily Dig just got a fresh dig site:
• Six guesses instead of five.
• Can’t remember a name? Browse all 159 dinosaurs and pick from the list, or search by part of a name like “raptor”.
• Weight replaces length as the size clue, a sharper hint for closing in on the answer.
• A new dig board: every guess digs one layer deeper towards today’s fossil.
• “T-Rex” now works as a guess.
