The daily game

Guess what the hammer said.

One real UK auction lot a day. You get the photo, the area and the guide price. The room already decided; how close can you get?

Auction lot

Hammer #47

County Durham, DL4

How it works

  • Every lot is real: it went to a UK auction and sold.
  • Within 5% of the hammer scores five stars; streaks build daily.
  • The full address is revealed after you guess, so no cheating by search.
  • New puzzle at midnight. Yesterday's answer is always below today's.
