# Daily puzzle games

> Free daily puzzles that are the same for everyone: a five-letter word game, a word-grouping puzzle, Sudoku, Solitaire, Minesweeper and Mahjong deals. No sign-up.

Nine games give everyone the same challenge each day. Solve today’s Word Beacon and Word Links, race the clock on the daily Sudoku, Solitaire deal, Minesweeper board and Mahjong layout, lock seven pulses for a score out of 700, clear today’s Memory Flip board or plan around the shared Cosmic Merge drop order. Your first result each day is kept on this device, and finishing any round keeps your streak going.

## Games

- [Solitaire](https://taprusharcade.com/games/solitaire.md): Solitaire, also called Klondike, is a single-player card game played with a standard 52-card deck. You build four foundation piles by suit from Ace to King, using seven columns where cards stack in descending order and alternating colors.
- [Word Beacon](https://taprusharcade.com/games/word-beacon.md): Word Beacon is a daily five-letter word game. You have six guesses to find the hidden word; after each guess, green tiles mark letters in the right place, yellow tiles mark letters that belong elsewhere and gray tiles mark letters that are not in the word.
- [Word Links](https://taprusharcade.com/games/word-links.md): Word Links is a daily word puzzle. Sixteen words hide four groups of four that share a connection, and you sort them into their groups before you make four mistakes. A new puzzle arrives every day, the same for everyone.
- [Sudoku](https://taprusharcade.com/games/sudoku.md): Sudoku is a logic puzzle played on a 9×9 grid divided into nine 3×3 boxes. The goal is to fill every empty cell with a number from 1 to 9 so that each row, each column and each box contains every number exactly once. No arithmetic is needed, only reasoning.
- [Cosmic Merge Drop](https://taprusharcade.com/games/cosmic-merge-drop.md): Cosmic Merge Drop is a free physics merge puzzle. You drop worlds into a tall jar, and when two identical worlds touch they merge into a bigger one, all the way up to a black hole. The round ends when the stack overflows the danger line, and everyone gets the same drop order each day.
- [Minesweeper](https://taprusharcade.com/games/minesweeper.md): Minesweeper is a single-player logic game played on a grid of hidden squares. Some squares hide mines, and every safe square you reveal shows how many mines touch it. You use those numbers to flag the mines and uncover every safe square without setting one off.
- [Mahjong Solitaire](https://taprusharcade.com/games/mahjong-solitaire.md): Mahjong Solitaire is a single-player tile-matching game played with mahjong tiles stacked in layers. You remove matching pairs of free tiles, meaning tiles with nothing on top and an open left or right side, until the whole stack is cleared. It uses the tiles of the four-player game Mahjong but none of its rules.
- [Pulse Lock Daily](https://taprusharcade.com/games/pulse-lock-daily.md): Pulse Lock Daily is a free daily timing game. Seven times in 45 seconds you tap when an expanding ring matches a target ring. Each lock scores up to 100 points, for a daily total out of 700 that everyone can compare.
- [Memory Flip](https://taprusharcade.com/games/memory-flip.md): Memory Flip is a free card-matching memory game. You turn over two cards at a time to find matching emoji pairs and clear three boards of 6, 8 and 10 pairs within 90 seconds. Play today’s shared boards or a random set.

**Where to start:** Short on time? Pulse Lock Daily takes under a minute and Word Beacon a few minutes. For a longer daily challenge, race the clock on Sudoku, the Solitaire deal or the Minesweeper board, where everyone’s time can be compared on the same puzzle.

## Questions and answers
