Scoring changed on 21 July 2026 to be gentler. The clock runs silently and is never a countdown or a penalty. Speed only adds a bonus at the end, which is revealed on the win card.
Stars are generous and never punish hints, undos or rescues. Finishing a board always earns 1 star. A steady pace or a 3-chain earns 2 stars, and beating par by 20 percent or a 5-chain earns 3.
The server now works out scores for itself, so a score sent by a player is never trusted.
An all-time leaderboard arrived too. It lists the top 25 players by total points, adding each player’s best verified daily score for every day they played.
