Daily Series — one board a day, worldwide.

Four games — Queens, Zip, Wend, and Pinpoint — each generate exactly one new board per calendar day, seeded by the date so every player on Earth sees the identical puzzle. It's the same format that made LinkedIn's daily games and Wordle into a shared morning ritual: no personal difficulty scaling, no replaying yesterday's win, just one fair board everyone compares notes on.

Why a shared daily puzzle works

A puzzle that resets at midnight and looks the same for everyone removes the two things that usually make brain-training apps feel like a chore: infinite content and private scores. When your solve time is directly comparable to a friend's, the puzzle becomes a conversation instead of a grind — that's the whole design premise behind Queens, Zip, Wend, and Pinpoint here, and why each one is capped at a single board per day instead of unlimited practice rounds.

The four daily games

♛ Queens

Place one queen in every row, column, and colored region — queens can't touch, not even diagonally. A constraint-satisfaction puzzle in the spirit of N-Queens with a region twist.

〰 Zip

Draw one continuous path through every cell, passing checkpoints in numerical order. A Hamiltonian-path puzzle you solve by drag.

Play today's Zip →

✎ Wend

Drag through each colored region to trace a hidden word — direction matters, so the same letters can hide two different answers.

◎ Pinpoint

Five clues reveal one at a time. Name the category they all share — fewer clues used earns more stars.
