Daily FreeCell Challenge - July 22, 2026
One layout, shared by everyone. A fresh board lands at midnight UTC.Today's Baker's Game deal
Everyone playing today is working through the exact same Baker's Game layout (July 22, 2026). Baker's Game is the game FreeCell grew from, and playing it shows you just how clever that one famous rule change really was. This variant is rated Hard, and around 75% winnable with strong play - so a strong daily result comes from a tidy, well-planned solve as much as raw speed.
Today's tip: Because same-suit building gives you so few landing spots, plan several moves ahead before committing - the biggest cause of losses here is burying a card you needed with no matching-suit home to move it to. For the full playbook, see the Baker's Game strategy guide.

How the daily deal works
The daily deal turns a quiet solo game into a friendly contest. Every player gets the exact same board, built from today's date - so your time isn't just fast, it's fast on the same puzzle everyone else is solving. Here's the short version:
- A fresh board is generated at midnight UTC and is identical for every player.
- Solve it and your time is ranked against everyone who cleared the same layout.
- Come back tomorrow for a brand-new board - skip a day and that puzzle is gone for good.
- Signed-in players keep a permanent name and build a streak; guests can post a display name too.
Tips for a quicker daily time
- Read the whole board before your first move. Since everyone shares the layout, the winners are the ones who waste the fewest moves.
- Free your buried Aces and low cards early - opening a lane matters more than raw speed.
- Keep your free cells open - once all four are stuffed, your options shrink fast.
- Warm up on a normal game first: try Baker's Game or read the rules.

Daily deal FAQ
Where does today's deal come from?
It is built automatically from today's date, so every player in the world opens the very same layout. No one starts with an easier board.
When does a new daily deal appear?
A fresh deal goes live at midnight UTC. After the day rolls over, that layout is retired for good, which is what makes a running streak worth guarding.
Do I need to sign in to play the daily?
No. You can solve the board and post a time as a guest. Signing in with Google keeps a permanent name and tracks your streak across devices.
How are daily times ranked?
Only solved boards count, and results are ordered by finish time, with ties broken toward fewer moves - so a tidy, well-planned solve beats rushed clicking.
