What is the daily puzzle challenge?

The daily challenge turns solo puzzling into a friendly, shared event. Everyone faces the same board, so bragging rights are real.

Quick answer: The daily challenge is one shared puzzle that every player gets on the same day. Because everyone solves the exact same board, your time is a fair comparison against the whole community. Come back each day to build a solving streak.

One puzzle, everyone the same

Each day the daily challenge serves a single fixed puzzle to all players. Nobody gets an easier board, which makes the comparison honest. Whether you solve it in the morning or at midnight, you are tackling the identical layout as everyone else.

Compare and compete

Once you finish, your time drops onto the day's ranking so you can see how you stack up. It feeds into the wider leaderboards too, so a great daily run can lift your standing. It is a gentle, low-pressure way to measure yourself against real people.

Build a streak

The real hook is the streak. Solve the challenge every day and watch your run grow, which is a fun reason to return. If daily solo play leaves you wanting company, our multiplayer guide shows how to race others live.

Multiplayer pits you against another player on the very same puzzle at the same time. You both start together, race to solve first, and see the result live. Join from the lobby, get matched, and the fastest solver takes the round.

How are puzzles scored?
