Questions
Is there always exactly one solution?
Yes. Every Meander is checked when it’s made, so it has exactly one solution and can always be solved by reasoning, without guessing.
When does a new Meander come out?
Every day at midnight UTC, the same moment for everyone. That’s 8 pm Eastern in summer and 7 pm in winter.
Do the puzzles get harder?
They get trickier through the week, so a weekend puzzle takes a little longer than a Monday one.
Can I play past puzzles?
Only today’s Meander can be played, so everyone’s times compare fairly. Past days have step-by-step solutions in the archive.
Is it free?
Yes. All the daily puzzles are free to play in your browser, with no sign-up needed.
