Lanterns Daily

One quiet logic puzzle a day. Light the board, build your streak. Lanterns is a daily logic puzzle in the spirit of the Queens family of games — with a warm twist. Every day, everyone gets the same hand-built board. Place a lantern in every row, every column, and every colored region, with one simple rule: no two lanterns may touch, not even diagonally. Too close, and their light washes out. The board starts dark and blank — it's pure deduction from the very first tap. Mark embers where a lantern can't go, and if you're ever stuck, ask for a hint: it reveals the next genuinely deducible move on your board. Never a guess. THE PROMISE: NO GUESSING Every daily puzzle is verified to be solvable by logic alone — a unique solution you can always reason your way to, never guess at. A lot of puzzle games skip this. We don't. If it can't be solved by deduction, it never ships. NEW: MINI SUDOKU A second daily-sized game — quick 6×6 sudoku with three difficulty levels, its own streak, and stats. Jump between games from the new hub. A DAILY RITUAL • One fresh puzzle every day, the same board for everyone • A solve timer and a streak counter that rewards showing up • A spoiler-free, emoji-grid result you can share — compare times, not solutions • A dark board that illuminates as you solve, with regions that glow when satisfied CALM BY DESIGN No accounts.
