Lanterns Daily

About this game

Lanterns is a daily logic puzzle in the tradition of Queens and N-Queens: place exactly
one lantern in every row, every column, and every color region — with no two lanterns
ever touching, even diagonally.

Every board is generated fresh each day and verified solvable by pure deduction before
it ever reaches you. No guessing, ever.

FEATURES
• One global daily puzzle — everyone solves the same board, on the same day
• Tap to cycle a cell: empty → ember ("no lantern here") → lantern → empty
• Live conflict detection as you place lanterns
• Ember-only hints teach the next logical step without solving it for you
• Solve streak tracking
• Spoiler-free share — show your time and streak without giving away the board
• Full archive of past dailies, so you never run out

Lanterns is offline, ad-free, and doesn't need an account. Solve today's puzzle in a
couple of minutes, keep your streak alive, and come back tomorrow for a new one.
