Why Play Daily?
Every day, GridPaw generates a brand new Akari puzzle that is the same for all players worldwide. Here is why the daily challenge is worth coming back for:
- Build a streak. Solve the puzzle every day to build your streak. Hit 3 days for the "On Fire" badge, 7 for "Star Cat," 14 for "Diamond Paw," and 30 for "Cat Royalty." Streaks make each solve feel meaningful.
- Compare your time. See how your solve time compares to other players on the leaderboard. The daily puzzle is the same for everyone, so it is a fair comparison.
- Weekend Super Challenge. On Saturdays and Sundays, the grid expands to 14×14 — a true test of skill for experienced players. Only the bravest attempt the Weekend Super.
- Track your progress. Your best time and longest streak are saved locally. Watch yourself improve over days and weeks as you internalize the strategies.
There is no account required — your streak is saved in your browser. Ready to start? Play now or jump straight to today's daily challenge.
How the Daily Challenge Works
Each day's puzzle is generated from a deterministic seed based on the date. This means:
- Every player gets the same puzzle on the same day.
- You can share your time and compare fairly.
- The puzzle is solvable with pure logic — no guessing required.
- Weekdays are 10×10 grids (hard difficulty). Weekends are 14×14 grids (expert difficulty).
If you miss a day, your streak resets — but your best streak is always saved. Come back tomorrow for a fresh challenge!
