Five regions, fixed numbers: try Tessera’s improved browser daily

The numbers stay. You choose what belongs together.

In Tessera's browser daily, a 5×5 board hides five regions. Each region needs five edge-connected tiles containing 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 once each. Diagonals don't connect, and the coloured starting tiles stay fixed.

Try one small deduction: choose a starting tile, then look at the numbers beside it. Which neighbours could belong to its region without repeating a number? Keep an eye on the space you leave for the other four regions.

Play the free browser daily — no account and no ads on that page. The cover shows the actual November 13 board; the live puzzle changes at midnight UTC.

A clearer way to learn from a wrong move

I've improved the daily page's feedback. It now explains when a region repeats a number, has too many tiles or is disconnected, and tells you how to recover. Repeated numbers are outlined. On short screens, the explanation and Undo are brought into view when needed—including after Undo or selecting a broken region again.

The rules and puzzles are unchanged. The aim is to make your next step clearer. If you try it, tell me which part of making your first region makes sense, or where you get stuck.
