How the daily word search works
- New at 00:00 UTC. That’s 7 p.m. Eastern / 4 p.m. Pacific during standard time in the US, and midnight in London in winter. The date shown is the UTC date.
- The same puzzle for everyone. Each day is assigned in advance from a pool of 366 checked puzzles drawn from our themed word lists. After a year the pool starts again from the beginning.
- Your board stays put. If midnight passes while you’re playing, your puzzle isn’t replaced. You’ll see a note offering the new one when you’re ready.
- Difficulty rotates through Easy, Medium and Hard so the week has some variety.
Streaks and history
A streak counts consecutive days on which you solved that day’s puzzle without revealing the answers. Hints are allowed and are shown on your result. Playing an older puzzle from the archive doesn’t change your current streak.
Everything is stored only in this browser. It isn’t uploaded, it isn’t a leaderboard, and it doesn’t follow you to other devices. You can export it from Saved as part of a backup.
