Streaks, Stats, and a Sharper Daily History Page

We’ve been busy behind the grid. Two updates are live today for CrossEights Daily players: streak tracking is finally here, and the old History page has been rebuilt into a proper Stats page.

Streak tracking is live

Your daily solves now build a streak. Complete the day’s puzzle, come back the next day, and your streak keeps growing. Miss a day and the count resets — but your best streaks are saved, so you can always see how far you’ve pushed it.

You’ll see your current streak on the puzzle page next to “Score to beat,” and a full breakdown on the Stats page: current streak, longest streak, start and end dates, and your top three longest streaks of all time. If you’re just starting out, the page will nudge you to begin one today.

Streaks are tied to the puzzle date, not the moment you play. That means a late-play completion still counts toward the streak for that puzzle’s day.

History is now Stats

Meet "Averages By Weekday"

The Stats page now includes a chart that breaks down your average score and solve time for each day of the week — Monday through Sunday. It also shows how many puzzles you've played on each day, so you can quickly spot where most of your practice is happening.

Each day is tagged with its difficulty schedule: Easy on Monday and Tuesday, Medium on Wednesday and Thursday, Difficult on Friday and Saturday, and Special Blend on Sunday. That makes it easy to see whether your best days line up with the easier puzzles, or whether you're holding your own even when the grid gets tougher.

What's "par"?

Every bar gets a dashed par marker. Par is the average of the top 10% of solvers on that weekday, calculated from puzzles played since July 4, 2026 — the day we introduced the insight bonus, which changed how high scores can go.

Par gives you a concrete target. If your average score bar reaches the dashed line, you're performing like one of the best solvers that day.

Green means good, red means room to grow

To make the chart readable at a glance, each bar gets a small colored marker above it:

  • Green ▲ — you're beating par. For score, that means your average is above the line. For time, it means you're faster than par.
  • Red ▼ — you're behind par. Higher scores and faster times are always better, so the color flips the meaning of "above" or "below" depending on the metric.

You don't have to do any mental math. The triangle tells you immediately where you're strong and where there's a gap.

How to use it as a reference

The chart works best as a weekly check-in. A few ways to put it to use:

  • Find your weak day. If one weekday is consistently red while the rest are green, that's your practice target.
  • Compare similar difficulty days. Monday and Tuesday are both Easy — are you scoring about the same on both? A big drop on one may mean a bad run, or it may mean you're rushing.
  • Watch your trend. As you play more dailies, your bars will shift. Come back after a few weeks and see whether a red day has turned green.
  • Set a realistic goal. Par is the top 10%, not the top 1%. Closing a small gap is often just a matter of cleaner solves and fewer hints.

What’s next?

Check your streak and stats by tapping Stats from the menu, or look for the streak label the next time you finish a daily puzzle. As always, if something looks off, let us know through the Feedback page.

Happy solving — and may your streak run long.
