Daily Color Letter Puzzle

Every day at midnight UTC, a brand-new puzzle is generated on the canvas. Find all hidden letters by clicking boxes — fewest checks wins!

How It Works

  • Letters are hidden across the 50×30 canvas — the number depends on available space (shown below the canvas)
  • Letters are formed by 5×7 pixel-font bitmaps — each letter spans multiple grid cells
  • Letter cells blend into the colorful canvas — look for subtle color patterns that form shapes
  • Click a cell to check it. If it's part of a letter, the letter's cells will highlight with a colored border
  • Find all cells of a letter to reveal it — it lights up in the puzzle bar below the canvas

Scoring & Ranking

  • You can only play once per day — make every click count!
  • Fewest checks wins — every click counts, even wrong ones
  • If two players have the same check count, fastest solve time breaks the tie
  • Your score is locked to your IP address — one attempt per puzzle
  • Log in to claim your score — anonymous scores get linked to your username

Daily Reset & Tips

  • A new puzzle every 24 hours (midnight UTC)
  • The puzzle bar shows: letters found, timer, and your total checks count
  • After solving, the leaderboard pops up showing your rank vs. others
  • Letters never overlap logos — skip cells with startup logos
  • Look for straight edges and corners — the pixel font has recognizable shapes
  • Progress is auto-saved — you can close and come back to continue
