How the daily challenge works
The daily challenge turns a solo game into a shared one. Everyone in the world gets the exact same shuffle, built from today's date - so your time isn't just fast, it's fast on the same puzzle everyone else is playing. Here's the short version:
- A fresh deal is generated at midnight UTC and is identical for every player.
- Finish the deal and your time is ranked against everyone who beat the same shuffle.
- Come back tomorrow for a brand-new deal - miss a day and that puzzle is gone for good.
- Signed-in players keep a permanent name and build a streak; guests can post a display name too.
Tips for a fast daily time
- Plan before you touch a card. Since everyone shares the deal, the winners are the ones who waste the fewest moves.
- Uncover face-down cards early - information beats speed in the opening.
- Don't rush cards to the foundations if you might still need them in the tableau.
- Warm up on a regular game first: try FreeCell Solitaire or read the rules.
