How streaks work
Solve a daily puzzle on its day to grow its streak; miss a day and the streak starts again. The Daily Crossword, the Mini and the Midi each have their own streak. Puzzles from the archive are marked in the calendar but do not change streaks.
Best time and help
Best time counts only puzzles solved without help. If you used Reveal or Autocheck, the puzzle still counts as solved, but not toward your best time.
