Daily Sudoku Challenge
Every day at midnight UTC three new puzzles go live — one per division. One attempt each, your time lands on that day's leaderboard, and finishing keeps your daily streak alive.

How the daily challenge works
Each day's puzzles come from our bank, rated on the Sudoku Explainer scale, so a Tuesday expert grid is genuinely comparable to a Thursday one. One attempt means one attempt — no replaying for a better time — which keeps the leaderboard honest. Next to the daily there is a tougher weekly challenge that runs Monday to Sunday.
