Frequently asked questions
Is World Cup Puzzles free to play?
Yes. Every daily puzzle is completely free, with no signup required. You can create a free account later if you want to save your streak and history across devices.
When does a new puzzle come out?

Do I need to be a tactics expert?
No. The puzzles are designed for anyone who watches football. If you have ever shouted "pass it wide!" at a screen, you already think tactically — the game gives you instant feedback so you improve with every puzzle.
