Golf Solitaire Daily Challenge

One Shared Deal Every Day

The Daily Challenge uses a fixed deal number based on the UTC date, so everyone gets the same layout. Check every exposed card before drawing, then replay the deal to compare different routes.

Four Things to Know About the Daily Challenge

How is a daily hand different from opening any random deal?

The rules are the same as the home game, but the deal is fixed for the day. That makes it easier to compare moves, time, and card order.

What should I read first when the hand opens?

Start with the waste card and identify every exposed card one rank above or below it. Favor a route that uncovers more cards underneath.

When should I draw from the stock?

Draw only after none of the seven columns has a legal play. The stock runs once, so drawing too early can waste a chance to restart a run later.

What is worth reviewing after I finish or fail?

Find the first point where you skipped a legal card, chose the weaker branch, or drew too early. Replay the same deal and change only that decision.

Daily Challenge FAQ

How is today's hand chosen?

The site pins one deal number to each UTC date, so everyone who opens the daily page on the same day gets the same hand.

If I send this page to a friend, will they see the same hand?

Yes. If they open it on the same UTC date, they get the same hand. If you want to keep a specific day for later, save the deal number and reopen it from the home page.

Do I need an account to play the daily challenge?

No. It runs straight in the browser. Progress, wins, best time, and fewest moves stay only on this device. There are no accounts, points, or season systems.

What happens if I leave yesterday's tab open past midnight?

If the page never refreshes, you stay on yesterday's hand. Once you refresh it, the new day's hand loads. Yesterday's one can still be reopened later by deal number.

Can I still use undo, hint, and replay here?

Yes. Undo, hint, replay, and local records all work the same way here. The only thing fixed is which hand the page serves today.
