What has changed in Punish Someone, newest first. Dates are the day each change reached you, in New York time.
A change to this website is live the moment it ships. An iPhone app is being tested and an Android app is in development; neither is in the App Store or Google Play yet, and this page will say when one is. Both use the same server as the website, so your daily pun, ratings and rap sheet will be the same everywhere.
Puns are now set in Nunito: rounded, friendly and easy to read at a glance.
Every pun, on the daily ticket, in the archive, on the leaderboards and on the share pictures, now uses Nunito. It is softer and rounder than the old serif, and it reads in one look on a small screen.
Submissions are now read, and the good ones join the library.
Anything you send from the Submit a pun page now goes in front of the court. A pun that gets approved joins the library like any other: it can be shared, rated, top a leaderboard, and in time become somebody's daily sentence.
Nothing you submit is public until it has been approved.
The daily pun looks like the citation it is, and sharing is one tap.
Every pun is now a ticket: the pun on top, a perforated line, and a stub underneath with the Groan-o-meter and your ways to punish someone.
Text, WhatsApp, X, Facebook, Reddit, email, a copied link or the picture card each have their own button, laid out in a grid that lines up on a phone and on a computer. The setup and the punchline also sit closer together, so the joke lands before you scroll.
One tap to keep your rap sheet, no password to remember.
On the Rap Sheet page, Continue with Apple creates your account or signs you back in. Hide My Email works, and your account is matched to your Apple ID rather than to an email address, so it stays yours even if the address changes.
You still don't need an account to rate or share a pun. An account keeps your rap sheet, favorites and people-punished count together across devices.
Punish Someone opens with a new pun every day.
A new pun is handed down every day at midnight New York time. Rate it on the Groan-o-meter, from Meh to Call the police, and send it to someone who only tolerates puns.
Every shared link counts the people it reaches, once each, so your Rap Sheet can show how many people you have punished and the title you have earned for it. The Hall of Shame ranks the best-groaned puns and Most Wanted the most shared. The archive keeps every past daily pun.
There are nearly six thousand family-friendly puns in the library to start with, which is about sixteen years of daily sentences.
