Today's cricket puzzles

Play is where every game lives. At the top are today's ten daily cricket puzzles, the same for everyone and new at midnight India time, from guess the cricketer and the cricket grid to a cricket wordle. Below them sit the 3D umpiring games, the auction and the brain games. Every game is free to play.

How to play

  1. Open Play and start any of today's ten puzzles, in any order.
  2. Watch the progress line count how many you have done before midnight.
  3. Finish a game on each day in a row to keep its streak going.
  4. When today's ten are done, try Plumb's 3D games or a brain game from the archive.
  5. Sign in when you want to keep your level and streaks on any device.

What changes at midnight

Each daily game gets one new puzzle at midnight India time, decided by the server, never by your phone's clock. Several of them run from easy on Monday to the hardest on Sunday. A day you missed in the last week can be unlocked and played in Catch up as practice, which never counts.

Points and levels

Every game you finish earns points, and your level only goes up, from Tail-ender to Captain. Most games can be sent to a friend as a duel: the same puzzle, and the best score wins.

Shared without spoilers

Each finished puzzle gives you a card to share with your score, never the answer, so your friends can still play it.

Questions
