How Daily works
Everyone gets the same puzzle today, so a Daily score is the one number here you can fairly compare with somebody else.
What stays fixed
The date sets the opening word, the order the goals arrive in, and which boosts you are offered, so nobody gets an easier draw. The opening word is given to you and scores nothing.
How a run tightens
Each goal you clear pays a bonus and then makes the run harder: the minimum word length goes up by one, to a maximum of three more than you started with, and Flow drains a little faster with every word you play. Early words are the cheap ones.
Why it is separate from Classic
Daily locks difficulty to the challenge instead of your settings, which changes scoring, because the difficulty bonus is added to every word. Classic is where your own settings and an open-ended run live.
