Space Tiles daily puzzle: a new puzzle every day
The daily puzzle is a new Space Tiles puzzle every day. You find it with the Daily puzzle button at the top of the map. It is always open, even if you have only just started, and finishing it gives you a Rescue team power-up. Its frame is always 7 × 6 squares.
Where is the daily puzzle?
On the map, look at the top bar, next to the galaxy name. The Daily puzzle button is there on every galaxy page. You don't need to fix any planets first. The first time you play one, ROB says: "A new puzzle every day. Just for fun!"
When does a new daily puzzle come?
A new puzzle comes each day, when the date changes on your device. The puzzle belongs to that date. If you are in the middle of the daily puzzle at midnight, you finish the one you started. Go back to the map, and the button opens the new day's puzzle.
Everyone who plays on the same date gets the same puzzle. So you can compare your moves with a friend or a grown-up.
How big is the daily puzzle?
| What | The daily puzzle |
|---|---|
| Frame | 7 squares wide, 6 tall |
| Tiles | Usually 6 to 10 |
| Turning | Tiles may start up to 3 quarter turns from the right way |
| Stuck blocks | On about half of the days |
| Tile colours | 5 |
| Moves for 3 stars | Shown on the result card and in How to play; usually between 11 and 29 |
The daily puzzle is built with the same rules as the planets of galaxy 3. So it is a good, middle-sized challenge: harder than the first planets, but much smaller than the big frames in the last galaxies.
What do you get for the daily puzzle?
When you finish it, the result card says Daily puzzle done! with your stars. The first time you finish each day's puzzle, you also get a Rescue team, the strongest power-up. That makes the daily puzzle the steady way to collect Rescue teams. Remember, you can keep up to 9. What the Rescue team does is on power-ups and hints.
You can play the same day's puzzle again with Play again, to try for more stars. The reward only comes once per day. There is no Next button after the daily puzzle; tap Map to go back.
Tips for the daily puzzle
- Make it a habit. One puzzle a day is a calm few minutes, and it keeps your Rescue teams coming.
- Read the 3-star line. Open the pause menu and choose How to play. It shows the moves you need for 3 stars before you start.
- Look for stuck blocks. On days with stuck blocks, fill the squares around them first.
- Use a hint, not a power-up. The frame is small, so a free Hint is usually enough. Save power-ups for big planets.

Does the daily puzzle count for the space station?
No. Only planets build your space station. The daily puzzle doesn't open planets or galaxies either. It is a puzzle on the side, just for fun and for the Rescue team.
