Word Solitaire
A small word puzzle to come back to
Some people start the day with a coffee and the crossword. The daily deal is meant to sit in that same quiet spot: one puzzle, ready when you are, and finished when the table is empty. Since there is no timer, it fits around your day. Play it in one sitting over breakfast, or look at it on a break and come back to the same letters with fresh eyes.
Daily word games work well as a habit because the decision is already made for you. You don’t have to choose a level or wonder what to play. You open the page, and the deal for the day is on the table.
When the deal changes
There is one deal per calendar day, and it changes at midnight UTC. That is a single moment worldwide, so the next deal may not arrive when your own clock reaches twelve. In some places it turns up in the afternoon, in others around breakfast. If a daily puzzle seems to change at an odd hour, that is the reason.
Everyone playing in the same language gets the same deal, which makes it something you can compare with a friend or a relative over the phone. How many words did it take you? Did you find a long one? English, Spanish, German, French, Brazilian Portuguese and Turkish each have a deal of their own, built from their own word list.
Your streak
The website keeps a streak in your browser, with no account behind it. That keeps things simple, and it comes with two small catches. A streak lives on one device, so a phone and a laptop will not share it. Clearing your browser data erases it as well.
How it differs from the 50 deals
The home page has the first 50 deals in order, and you can go back to any of them once you have reached it. Think of those as a path you walk at your own pace, playing as many in one evening as you like.
The daily deal is one puzzle tied to the date. Everything else works the same way: the rules do not change, Undo and Peek stay free, and stars are counted the same way against par.
The iOS app has a daily deal and a streak of its own, which opens at level 15. It is a separate puzzle from the one on this page. You can read about it on the app page.
