Daily challenge explained

The Daily Puzzle challenge is a special slide puzzle that resets every day. It’s designed as a shared challenge, where all players around the world solve the exact same puzzle under the same conditions.

This page explains how the daily challenge works and which rules apply.

How the daily challenge works

Every day, a new daily puzzle becomes available.

• A new daily puzzle is published at a fixed time each day
• The daily puzzle is the same for everyone worldwide
• The puzzle tiles are shuffled in exactly the same way for all players

This means:

• Everyone starts with the same puzzle
• Everyone faces the same difficulty
• Results can be fairly compared

Whether you play early or late in the day, the challenge itself does not change.

Special rules for daily puzzles

To keep the challenge fair and consistent, a few special rules apply.

• The grid size cannot be changed
• The show numbers option is not available

Why play the daily challenge?

• A fresh puzzle every day
• A shared experience with other players
• A consistent benchmark for your solving skills

You can treat it as:

• A quick daily brain exercise
• A personal time or move challenge
• A way to measure progress over time

Tips for the daily challenge
