How are my stats saved?

Nothing stings like a personal best you cannot find later. Here is exactly where your puzzle stats live and how to keep them safe.

Quick answer: When you are signed in, your best times, streaks and completed puzzles save to your account and sync across devices. As a guest, recent stats stay only in the browser you used, so they can be lost if you clear your data or switch devices.

Signed-in stats sync everywhere

Sign in and your results attach to your account, so a fast time set on your laptop shows up on your phone too. This is also what feeds the leaderboards, so your best solves can be ranked against other players around the world.

Guest stats stay local

Play as a guest and your recent scores are stored in that one browser. It works fine for casual solo sessions, but clearing your history or switching devices can wipe them. If you care about your streaks, signing in is the safe move, as our page on whether you need an account explains.

What counts toward your record

Most games track completion time, moves used, and win streaks. Exactly how those turn into a ranking depends on the puzzle, which our guide to how puzzles are scored breaks down game by game.

Related questions

How are puzzles scored?

It depends on the puzzle. Timed games rank by how quickly you finish, move-based games reward solving in fewer moves, and endless games like Block Puzzle track a high score. Your best results feed the leaderboards.

Do I need an account to play?

No, you can play every puzzle without an account. Just open a game and start. Signing in is optional and only matters if you want to save your stats across devices, appear on leaderboards, or join online multiplayer matches.

What is a good puzzle solving time?

A good time depends entirely on the game and board size, so there is no single number. The fairest target is beating your own previous best. If you want outside benchmarks, the leaderboards show what strong solvers achieve on each puzzle and difficulty.
