Solva is a small set of puzzles that resets every day. Open it, play what you feel like, close it. Five minutes, then it is done until tomorrow.

How the day works

Every challenge comes from the date itself, so the puzzle you are solving is the same one everyone else is solving today — which is what makes it worth talking about. At midnight, your time, a new set appears and the old one is gone.

There is no account and no sign-up. Your streak and your statistics live in your browser, which means they are private, and also that they are yours to lose if you clear your browser data.

The games

• LadderFive things, one hidden order. Three tries, and every correct position stays locked.
• MatheOne calculation at a time, chained from the last. Fifteen seconds each — miss one and the run is final.
• ColorPiFive seconds to memorize a colour, one guess to rebuild it. Scored by how close you land, not right or wrong.
• MementoA memory board with a peek: all eight cards show for 1.5 seconds, then it is a race to match the pairs. Every miss costs 3 seconds.

Some of them need no language at all — arithmetic, colour and shapes work the same in every country. Ladder does not: its items are named in English today, so it asks for a little reading. Games that need no language are the goal, and we are not there yet.

Sharing

When you finish, you get one line per game — how it went, without giving anything away. Paste it wherever you like. It is the only way anyone finds this place, so if you enjoyed the day, that line is the favour.

Who makes it

Solva is built by Insert Coin, a one-person studio. It is new, it is small, and more games are coming — the empty slots on the home screen are not decoration.
