How Platform Swap works

How rounds are made

Every line is quoted word for word from a Democratic or Republican national party platform, 1856 to 2024. Older platforms are quoted from public-domain printings; for recent ones each round is a short quotation with the document cited. Each day holds three or four lines from each party and at least one swap: a line most people would pin on the other side. The reveal shows the year, the paragraph around the line and the document it comes from.

Fair play and player figures

• Every round has one known answer from a public record, with its source and the date it was checked.
• Answers stay on the server until you guess, and the server keeps the clock.
• Player percentages appear only once an item has at least 100 counted answers. They describe players of this game, not the public. It is not a poll.
• Each network counts at most 3 answers per item, only answers from US networks count, and hosting-provider networks never count. None of this changes your own score or streak.
