Your daily dose of puzzle practice just got a glow-up! The new Daily Puzzle now features five lives instead of just one shot at glory, a fresh way to brag about your puzzle prowess, and a puzzle that refreshes according to your local time.
Every day, more than a million members come to Chess.com to solve the exact same puzzle. Active for almost two decades, Daily Puzzle is not only a good way to stay sharp—it’s also a fun tradition that our community looks forward to every day.
Here’s everything you need to know about the new Daily Puzzle experience, and why now is a better time than ever to join in on the fun:
Five Tries To Shine
You now get five lives every day to complete your Daily Puzzle. If you miss a move, you’ll lose one of your hearts—but the challenge keeps going, and your coach gives you a helpful tip! Now, you can enjoy your bragging rights when you finish with all five hearts intact, or just chill knowing you’ll have another shot if you get it wrong. And even if you run out of hearts, your Daily Puzzle streak will still keep going!
If you’re a hardcore solver who likes to find the answers on your own, you can still hide coach tips. Just click the settings icon and turn on “Hard Mode” to work through each one solo.
Share Your Successes
Are you particularly proud of a Daily Puzzle you’ve just solved? Maybe you got that Friday head-scratcher on your first try, and you feel like challenging your friends to do the same. You can now easily share your results as soon as the puzzle ends. Click the share button and get a results card with your heart count and a special nod for solving on Hard Mode.
New Day, New Puzzle, Wherever You Are
Daily Puzzle used to refresh at the same time for everyone in the world. But now, it adjusts to your schedule and introduces a new puzzle at midnight in your local time. So whether you’re in New York or Beijing, you’ll have a brand-new challenge waiting for you when you wake up.
