Daily math puzzle

Why the daily format works

A daily puzzle has a hard stop. One puzzle, a few minutes, then you are finished until tomorrow. That is the opposite of an infinite feed, and it is most of the reason the format spread from Wordle into dozens of categories.

Two other things make it stick. Everyone gets the same puzzle on the same day, so there is something to compare with friends and colleagues. And a streak gives you a reason to come back that has nothing to do with the puzzle itself.

How the Daily Challenge works in 37 - The Math Puzzle

Every player in the world is dealt the same roll of seven dice: four white and three coloured Power Dice. You must use all seven exactly once, combining them with addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponents and parentheses, so the expression equals exactly 37.

• The green die must appear in an addition or a subtraction.
• The blue die must appear in a multiplication or a division.
• The red die must be used as an exponent, either the base or the power.

Using at least two of the three correctly is a Valid Solve. Using all three is a Perfect Solve, which earns a Puzzle Piece. Your time posts to the daily podium, and a Global Leaderboard on the Stats page tracks how you compare over the longer run.

It is more than the daily puzzle

There are three Daily Challenges each day, one per mode, and every mode also has an untimed Practice version with unlimited rolls. Blitz Colosseum holds Solo Blitz speed rounds running from one to ten minutes and 1-v-1 Blitz Battles. You can add friends, challenge them head to head, and watch each other on the leaderboards. Streaks, badges, Puzzle Pieces and personal stats run underneath all of it.

Building the habit

Most players attach it to something they already do: coffee, the commute, the gap before a meeting. A Daily Challenge usually takes a few minutes, and podium winners are often under a minute. It needs no sound and works in one hand.
