Daily Arrow Puzzle is a daily logic game about clearing a grid of straight and bent arrows. Click an arrow only when the line from its head to the edge is clear, then keep opening routes until the board is empty.
The central teal arrow cost our first heart
On October 28, 2026, we played Wednesday's Daily #1 in a desktop browser: an 8×8 grid containing 21 arrows. We completed it unaided, then replayed the same Wednesday layout to check the help and failure controls below.
The central teal arrow pointed left. Clicking it produced “Blocked. Another arrow is in the way.” The counter stayed at 21, and three hearts became two. That feedback distinguished an occupied exit from a successful removal immediately, without advancing the board.
We left the teal arrow alone and removed the two magenta arrows pointing left near the top. Each flew off and reduced the counter by one. After clearing more outward-facing arrows, we returned to the central teal arrow; this time it exited. The useful check was the straight line ahead of its head, rather than trying to follow the bends of its body.
A blue bend blocked the final red arrow
With four arrows left, we tried the long red arrow pointing up. A blue bent arrow still crossed its exit farther above the head. The red arrow stayed put and our second miss left one heart.
The remaining sequence was right-side blue down, bent blue down, then bent blue left. Removing that last obstruction freed the long red arrow for our final click. Checking the entire column above its head, including the blue body crossing it, would have prevented that second miss.
Replay let us test the three-heart failure
Replay restored the same 21 arrows and three hearts after the win. We blocked the central teal arrow again, then pressed Hint. The top green upward arrow gained a yellow highlight with the message “Hint: the highlighted arrow can move now.” It stayed on the board, and Hint left our two remaining hearts unchanged.
Two more blocked clicks exhausted them. The “Out of hearts” panel offered Try again, which restored the original layout and three hearts. That gives this board room for another attempt after failure, though each attempt still penalizes speculative clicks.
The daily instructions specify no time limit. That leaves time to inspect the blue crossing above the red arrow instead of spending a heart to discover it.
