| Game | Daily date used |
|---|---|
| Mini Crossword | Your device's local date |
| Super Sudoku | Your device's local date |
| Shabdle | UTC date (5:30 am in India) |
| Solitaire | UTC date (5:30 am in India) |
| Mental Maths | UTC date (5:30 am in India) |
| Rishta | India time (midnight IST) |
| Bubble Pop | Your device's local date |
| Dimaag Daily | UTC date (5:30 am in India) |
The games do not all reset on the same clock. Crossword, Sudoku and Bubble Pop use the local date on your device. Shabdle, Solitaire, Mental Maths and Dimaag Daily use the UTC date. Rishta uses India time.
Use the same game, mode, difficulty and date when comparing a result. Around midnight, players in different time zones can have different daily boards. The calendar column above makes the difference explicit.
A daily game chooses a puzzle or generates a board from a date-based seed. That does not mean a human writes a new puzzle every morning. Mini Crossword and Shabdle draw from curated banks, so puzzles or words can repeat over time.
A timer or personal best measures your attempt, not how many people are currently playing. A daily challenge can be played alone; it is not a live multiplayer room.
Start with the type of challenge you already enjoy. Read a few crossword clues, try one maths round, or begin a Solitaire deal. Use the guide if a rule is unclear, then decide whether to continue or come back another day.
Streaks and completion markers follow each game's own rules. Some require a clear or a finished workout, so simply opening the page may not count. Game scores are entertainment and personal progress indicators, not clinical measures of ability.
It depends on the game. The calendar column lists local-device, UTC and India-time resets. UTC midnight is 5:30 am in India.
Several games offer Random, Free Play, Endless or Free Practice alongside the daily option. These modes may not update the daily streak or daily-workout record.
The daily Mini Crossword selects a puzzle from a curated bank using the date. The selection changes, but it can repeat; it is not a promise of a newly authored puzzle every day.
