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!
