What time do puzzles refresh?

No. You can play every puzzle without signing in. An account is only needed if you want your streaks and progress to follow you across devices.

Question 3

How do streaks work?

Accepted Answer

Your participation streak counts each day you attempt all four puzzles. Your perfect-day streak counts each day you solve all four.

Question 4

What counts as a perfect day?

Successfully solving Route, Circuit, Focus and Shift on the same day.

Question 5

Can I replay puzzles?

Accepted Answer

No — each puzzle is a single attempt for the day. This keeps the ritual short and the share results meaningful.

Question 6

Are puzzles the same for everyone?

How do I report a bug?

Use the Feedback link in the footer, or the small 'Found a bug?' link on the results screen. We read every message.

Question 8

Why can't I replay today's puzzle?
