™Zoned, in one minute
A new grid of colored shapes every day. Drop one globe in every row, every column and every color. Every puzzle has exactly one answer, and you never need to guess.
The four rules
- One globe in every row. Side to side.
- One globe in every column. Top to bottom.
- One globe in every color. Each outlined shape gets exactly one.
- Globes never touch. Not even at the corners.
How to play it
- Tap a square to drop a globe. Tap it again to lift it off.
- Drag or hold to mark ✕ on squares you have ruled out.
- Hint shows you the next move and why it works. It adds 15 seconds.
- Keyboard: arrows move, Space drops a globe, X marks, H asks for a hint.
The week
Monday is a gentle 6×6. The grids grow through the week, and Sunday is the big 9×9.
Each day’s puzzle is built around one move. Solve it and the move is yours. There are six to learn.
A new puzzle every midnight, Los Angeles time. Same puzzle for everyone.
