What is the Daily Challenge?
The daily challenge turns solitaire from a solo pastime into a shared one: same shuffle, same day, everybody racing the identical puzzle.
One deal, everyone
Each day's deal is generated deterministically from the date, so the shuffle you see is byte-for-byte the shuffle everyone else sees. That makes times directly comparable - you're not just fast, you're fast on the same puzzle. You can play the daily challenge in several games, including Klondike, Spider and FreeCell.
Streaks and the leaderboard
Win today's deal and your time lands on the daily board. Signed-in players keep a permanent name and build a streak; guests can post a display name too. Because a day's deal disappears at midnight UTC, streaks reward showing up - miss a day and it's gone for good.
Why it's a great habit
A daily deal is a bite-sized, self-limiting goal: one puzzle, one attempt at a ranked time, done. It pairs naturally with multiplayer for head-to-head play and the leaderboard for lifetime bests.

How does multiplayer solitaire work?
Both players get the identical seeded deal at the same moment and race on their own boards. A live progress bar shows how many cards each has banked; the first to finish wins, and if you both stall the higher count takes it. Create a room, share the link, and play - no account needed.
How is solitaire scored?
It depends on the mode. Standard scoring rewards cards moved to the foundations plus a speed bonus, so faster, tidier solves score higher. Vegas scoring is a cash game: you "buy" the deck for $52 and earn $5 per card banked, so your score can go negative. Leaderboards rank by finish time.
