When does the daily block puzzle reset?

At midnight UTC, the same moment for every player in the world.

Does everyone get the same daily board?

Yes. The board and the order of the pieces are identical for every player, so scores can be compared directly.

How many attempts do I get?

One attempt per day. Classic mode is always available if you want to keep playing.

The daily block puzzle

Every day, every player in the world gets the same board. One attempt. Then compare.

How it works: at midnight UTC a new board is dealt. The pieces and their order are identical for everyone, so a score of 900 means exactly the same thing in Mumbai, London and New York.

Why a daily puzzle?

Most block puzzle games deal random pieces, so two scores can't really be compared: one player might simply have been luckier. The daily board removes luck from the comparison. Everyone faces the same pieces, so the only difference is how you placed them.

The rules of the daily board

One attempt. When the run ends, that's your score for the day.
Same for everyone. The board is generated from the date, so it's identical on every device, even offline.
New board at midnight UTC. That's 5:30 am in India, 1 am in the UK (summer time) and 8 pm the evening before in New York (summer time).
Streaks. Play on consecutive days to build a streak, shown on your home screen and in your share.

Tips for the daily board

With only one attempt, play carefully: keep space for the 3×3 square and the five-long line, and look at all three pieces before placing any. The strategy guide has twelve more tips.
