The Daily Xiangqi Puzzle is independent of the existing level-based collections. Everyone receives the same position for each UTC date. The clock starts only after Start is pressed. Your first win completes the day, while later wins can improve only that day’s best time without adding another completion or streak day.

A missed UTC date resets the current streak on the next success while the longest streak remains.

  • One completion per date.
  • Only faster repeat times are stored.
  • Longest streak is permanent.
