How daily challenges work
- The day's puzzle is derived from the calendar itself, so every player in the world faces the identical challenge — no server hands it out, and nobody gets an easier board.
- Rollover happens at your local midnight, not a global clock. A daily should reset when your day does.
- Your streak, your daily best, and your all-time best live on your device. No account, nothing to sign into.
- Any score can be sent as a challenge link. Whoever opens it plays the same day's puzzle with your number on screen — beating it is the whole conversation.
