The Daily Six · #280

Six aviation puzzles. One streak.

Words, connections, geography, airlines, deduction and operational arithmetic. Finish any one of them and your streak survives the day.

How it works

One streak, six games

Finish any one of the six and the day counts. You do not have to play them all, and a day you only have ten minutes is not a day you lose eleven.

Perfect Flight

Finish all six on the same day and it is a Perfect Flight. It is a completion, not a requirement: your streak never depends on it.

New puzzles at 00:00 UTC

All six roll over together, so everybody worldwide is on the same puzzle at the same moment and a shared result means one specific day.
