Daily Hue Game: A Fresh Color Puzzle Every Day

A daily hue game turns colour into a once-a-day ritual: one new gradient puzzle every day, identical for every player, with a streak to keep and a result to share.

Overview

The daily format is what makes games like this stick. HueLine releases a single new color-sorting puzzle each day at midnight UTC, and because it is generated from the date itself, every player in the world gets exactly the same tiles — so you can compare results with friends fairly.

Each solve feeds a streak counter stored privately on your device. Come back the next day and solve again to extend it; miss a day and it resets. Stats like your average number of moves and best streak give you something to improve without any account or login.

When you finish you can copy a spoiler-free result — a row of generic colored squares plus your move count — to share anywhere. It never shows the actual arrangement, so posting it cannot ruin the puzzle for anyone who has not played yet.

Strategy & tips

• Play at the same time each day to build the habit — the puzzle resets at midnight UTC.
• Chase optimal solves, not just any solve: the Par number shows the minimum moves possible, and matching it earns the ★ optimal badge.
• Missed yesterday? Use the archive to replay the last few days and keep your skills sharp (replays do not affect your streak).

Worked example

A step-by-step solve showing how to reorder the tiles into a smooth gradient. (Colors are shown here to teach the method; the numbers are the position labels, not the answer.)

1. 12345

   Step 1. Today's start: a blue→green sweep with the two middle tiles flipped — a violet-blue sits where a teal belongs.

2. 12345

   Step 2. One swap moves the violet-blue next to the blue anchor and drops teal into the cool-green run.

3. 12345

   Step 3. Blue eases through indigo and teal into the greens — a clean gradient, solved in a single optimal move.

FAQ

How often is there a new puzzle?

Once a day. A fresh puzzle unlocks at midnight UTC and is the same for everyone in the world that day.

Where is my streak stored?

Only on your device, in your browser. Nothing is uploaded — there is no account and no server stores your progress.

What happens if I miss a day?

Your current streak resets to zero, but your best-ever streak is kept. You can replay recent days from the archive, though replays do not count toward the streak.

Does sharing reveal the answer?

No. The share shows only generic colored squares and your move count, never the real tile order, so it is completely spoiler-free.
