The Dle Gauntlet
Rate itFive daily Dle games from five categories, played back to back against the clock.
Every day: Every UTC day all players get the same five Dle games, one from each of five categories (words, logic, geography and history, entertainment, trivia and perception), revealed one round at a time and timed toward one daily leaderboard. New puzzle: Midnight UTC (00:00 UTC), as the site states.
The Dle Gauntlet strings five daily puzzle games from other sites into one timed run. Every day everyone gets the same five, one each from words, logic, geography and history, entertainment, and trivia, and each game stays hidden until you start its round. Your total time goes on a shared daily leaderboard.
About The Dle Gauntlet
The Dle Gauntlet is a free browser challenge built on top of the many independent daily games that end in -dle. It does not host the puzzles itself. Each round sends you to the original game's own website, you play that day's puzzle there, and you come back to report your result while the gauntlet's server keeps the time.
Every UTC day the site draws one game from each of five categories: Words and Language, Logic and Puzzles, Geography and History, Entertainment and Pop Culture, and Trivia, Estimation and Perception. The lineup is the same for every player, and the categories are shown up front while the games themselves stay hidden until you reveal each round. The draw is random within each category, and the site says that placements are never paid for.
A run allows one attempt per browser a day. Each round has up to 30 minutes, the whole run must finish within two hours and before midnight UTC, and a skipped or abandoned round adds 30 minutes to your time. You enter a name for the leaderboard before you start; no account is needed for the daily run.
Beside the daily five there are Custom Gauntlets, where anyone can pick any five Dles and share the set as a challenge, and a page for game makers to submit their own daily game. It suits players who already do a few daily puzzles each morning and want a race out of them, and anyone looking to find new daily games they had not heard of.

Tips
- Have time for the whole run before you start: a run allows one attempt per browser a day and must end within two hours.
- Skipping costs 30 minutes, the same as the round's limit, so it pays to make a real try at a game you do not know.
- If you already play some of the day's Dles elsewhere, do the gauntlet first so the puzzles are fresh when the clock is running.
