Current Murdle note

Keep the daily web game and book releases in separate boxes.

Murdle's official site puts the daily mystery beside Mini, Hint, Mansion, Decoder, Events, and book links. That is useful context when you want a story-led daily case with optional side formats.

A separate current release

The official Murdle page, checked July 17, 2026, highlighted Bordergrams: A Quest for the Queen as available in the US and UK. The publisher describes it as an 80-puzzle fantasy connection book and lists July 14, 2026 as its on-sale date.

What this does not change

Bordergrams is a book with a different puzzle format. It does not establish a change to Murdle's daily web schedule, rules, language coverage, or regional access. Recheck the official daily page before planning a play session.
