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, and the site's player accounts are still in testing with registration closed.

Beside the daily five there are Custom Gauntlets, where anyone can pick any five Dles and share the set as a challenge. The Arcade tab lists the public ones, which players can upvote, and there is 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.
