DAILYJIG

About DAILYJIG

DAILYJIG started with a daily jigsaw and has grown into a set of three games. The Jigsaw is a 5x5 picture cut into square pieces and shuffled; you drag pieces around the board, and when two correct neighbours touch they stick together and move as a group. Rebuild the image to finish, and the game records your time, moves and streak.

Memory is the classic card game: flip cards two at a time and find all the matching pairs in as few moves as you can. Capybas, the newest, is a logic puzzle in which you use the clues to find where every capybara is hiding, following rules about colours, rows, columns and capybaras not touching each other, close in spirit to LinkedIn's Queens.

Every game has a new challenge at 8:01 PM ET, and the site says everyone playing that day gets the same games. Progress is saved in your browser. Besides the dailies, you can turn your own photos into jigsaws and play puzzles made by other users. It suits players who want a gentle, short routine rather than a hard word or trivia test.

How to play DAILYJIG

1. Open DAILYJIG and pick one of the day's three games.
2. Jigsaw: drag the pieces into place; correct neighbours lock together until the picture is complete.
3. Memory: flip two cards at a time and match every pair in as few moves as possible.
4. Capybas: place the hidden capybaras so the colour, row, column and no-touch rules are all met.
5. Watch the progress bar reach 3/3, then share your times and moves.

Tips

• In the jigsaw, build the edges and any strong colour areas first; pieces that stick together can be moved as a block.
• In Memory, flip cards in a fixed order so you can remember positions more easily.
• In Capybas, start with rows or colour regions that leave only one possible square.
• Play at or after 8:01 PM ET if you want to be among the first on the new set.
