The Password Game requires you to include a leap year in your password, but it can be hard to know what qualifies as a leap year. Since leap years are so rare, what is a leap year and what isn’t? To help you out, here is a guide on all the leap years that solve rule 15 in The Password Game.

How to solve The Password Game rule 15: Leap years, explained

Leap years happen every four years, and they started in 0 AD. With that in mind, leap years are 4 AD, 8 AD, 12 AD, 16 AD, and so on, adding four years every time.

With that simple calculation, you can input any leap year to solve rule 15 in The Password Game. Just remember that a leap year has to be divisible by four since leap years happen every fourth year. Also, remember that rule 5 requires your numbers to add up to 25.

When I was playing it, rule 15 was automatically completed the moment I completed rule 14 because I had entered 44 as part of rule 10, the one where you need to include the CAPTCHA phrase. Since 44 is a leap year, rule 15 was automatically completed and I was able to move on to rule 16 (which is a really tricky one. We have a guide on rule 16 that you should check out if you’re stuck on it.)

Hopefully, you automatically unlocked rule 15, but if not, simply place 12 or 288 or 636 — whatever you want, really! Leap years are very strange, and I’m not sure why they exist. I think it has to do with the Earth moving slightly faster each year so it needs to reset a day by having a leap year. Because leap years add one day to February. You know what, I’m Googling why leap years exist now and I think you should too.

There is no best leap year to solve rule 15 in The Password Game; just put whatever leap year you like. Just know that you might need to alter some numbers later. You also might need to change some numbers around if they don’t add up to 25, which is a requirement of rule 5.
