7-by-many puzzles go daily

The 7-by-many puzzle, introduced in January 2019 as an option in Your Puzzles, has now been added to the daily Chihuahua puzzles.

7-by-many puzzle tab

The tab for the new daily puzzle is between the 10 Letters and Your Puzzles tabs. If you don't see it, try reloading the page. As with the other daily types, each puzzle will be open for 24 hours. The starting time for the new 7-by-many puzzle is half way between the Standard and 10-letter puzzles. You can also create a random puzzle whenever you want.

For some further information about this type of puzzle see the Help page.
