Daily Reversi Challenge - July 14, 2026
One game, shared by everyone. New challenge at midnight UTC.Today's Othello game
Every player in the world is facing the exact same Othello setup today (July 14, 2026). Othello is the modern, standardised form of Reversi, the version played at the World Othello Championship every year. This variant is rated Tournament standard, and it's a razor-thin margin at the top level - single discs decide titles - so a good daily result is as much about a clean, decisive win as raw speed.
Today's tip: Corners are everything - an Othello disc in a corner is permanently stable, so most sound plans revolve around safely capturing corners and denying them to your opponent. For the full playbook, see the Othello strategy guide.

How the daily challenge works
The daily challenge turns a solo game into a shared one. Everyone in the world gets the exact same setup, built from today's date - so your time isn't just fast, it's fast on the same game everyone else is playing. Here's the short version:
- A fresh game is generated at midnight UTC and is identical for every player.
- Beat the computer and your time is ranked against everyone who won the same daily game.
- Come back tomorrow for a brand-new game - miss a day and that one is gone for good.
- Signed-in players keep a permanent name and build a streak; guests can post a display name too.
Tips for a fast daily time
- Take the corners safely. Corner discs can never be flipped and are the surest route to a decisive win.
- Play for mobility, not disc count - a big early lead is often a trap, so keep your options open.
- Avoid the squares next to empty corners, which usually hand your opponent the corner beside them.
- Warm up on a regular game first: try Othello or read the rules.
