The Pawmoku daily and the teams
The Pawmoku daily gives every player the same puzzle on their own local date, always free. Pick Team Cat or Team Dog, then solve with the two rules. Your first attempt is the official one. First solves without a hint or check count toward the team's median time.
What is the daily puzzle?
The daily is the same puzzle for every player, on their own local date, and is always free.
Monday to Saturday the daily is 6x6, getting harder through the week. Sunday is a bigger 8x8.
| Days | Board |
|---|---|
| Monday to Saturday | 6x6, getting harder through the week |
| Sunday | 8x8 |
There is one official attempt per day: the first solve is the one that counts. The daily works offline; team scores need a connection.
When does the daily change?
The daily changes at midnight on your own clock.
Pawmoku follows your local date. Daily streaks track your daily play, with streak freezes for a missed day.
How does Team Cat or Team Dog win?
The team with the faster median solve time wins the day.
Pick Team Cat or Team Dog on first launch. Only first-attempt solves with no hint and no check count toward the race. A team needs enough solves for a result; until then, Pawmoku says "Too early to call".
A day stays open while anywhere in the world is still on that date. Players can finish their local daily while other places have already moved to the next one.
Why use the median solve time?
The median means the bigger team cannot win by size alone.
The race compares the teams' median solve times, rather than adding all their times or counting all their players. Both teams are aiming for a faster fair first solve.
How does the weekly crown work?
The team that wins more days from Monday to Sunday earns the crown for the following week.
Each day's result contributes to that weekly race. The crown belongs to the team.
Can I switch teams?
You can switch between Team Cat and Team Dog in Settings once every 30 days.
The same two rules apply whichever side you pick.
