A New Daily Shikaku Puzzle Every Day

Daily mode gives you a fresh Shikaku puzzle every day. Medium, Hard, and Expert each have their own official board, and everyone playing that difficulty sees the same puzzle on the same date.

That keeps the daily challenge fair while still giving players room to choose the level that feels right. You can stay with one difficulty or try all three in a single visit.

Why Play Daily Shikaku?

Daily Shikaku gives the puzzle a simple rhythm: one new challenge each day, one fair board for each difficulty, and a reason to come back tomorrow.

It is a good fit for players who enjoy steady progress. You do not need to search through a large puzzle bank every time — just open the page, choose your level, and start solving.

How the Daily Shikaku Challenge Works

Choose Medium, Hard, or Expert, then start solving today’s official board for that difficulty. Your result is tracked separately for each level, so leaderboard comparisons stay clear and fair.

You can play the difficulty you like most, or move from Medium to Hard and Expert as your solving skills improve over time.

Missed a Puzzle? Explore the Daily Archive

Miss a day? You can still go back and play earlier daily Shikaku puzzles in the archive. It is the best place to revisit past boards, catch up on recent challenges, or spend more time with a difficulty you enjoy.

The archive turns Daily Shikaku into more than a one-day event. Even if you skip today’s puzzle, the older boards are still there when you want more to solve.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does the daily puzzle reset?

A new daily Shikaku puzzle appears at 00:00 Asia/Shanghai each day. Medium, Hard, and Expert all reset at the same time with new official boards.

Is the daily puzzle the same for everyone?

Yes. Everyone playing the same difficulty on the same date gets the same official board. That keeps the daily challenge fair and makes leaderboard comparisons more meaningful.

What difficulty should I start with?

Medium is a good starting point for most players. If you already feel comfortable with Shikaku strategy, you can move up to Hard or Expert for a longer and more demanding daily puzzle.

Can I play more than one daily puzzle in a day?

Yes. Each day includes separate Medium, Hard, and Expert boards, so you can play one difficulty or try all three in the same visit.

What happens after I finish today’s puzzle?

After you finish, your result can be compared on the leaderboard for that difficulty. You can also come back tomorrow for a new puzzle or visit the archive to explore earlier daily boards.

What if I miss a day?

You do not lose access to puzzle content forever. The Daily Archive lets you revisit past Shikaku puzzles and keep solving even if you miss the live daily challenge.
