The Puzzles hub groups several distinct paths: daily puzzle, free puzzles, user puzzles, puzzle battle and puzzle creation. They do not all have the same access rules.
Puzzles are useful in BlitzForge because they turn a short position into a concrete decision, then connect that work to a game, a quest or a review.
Start with the daily puzzle
The daily puzzle has its own route and solved state. It is the clearest entry for a short session. It works well before a game or after a review that exposed a tactical mistake.
When solving, do not only look for the first move. Identify forcing moves, the opponent’s best response and the motif behind the solution.
Use free puzzles
Free puzzles are separate from the daily puzzle. They let you train longer without waiting for the next daily puzzle. Guests can access the daily and training puzzle paths, which makes guest mode useful for testing this part of BlitzForge.
The Guest mode page explains what is open without an account and what requires registration.
Know what requires an account
Puzzle battle and puzzle creation require an account. Creation exists from a position, but it should not be presented as a guest feature.
If you want to keep progression, connect puzzles to your profile and use advanced paths, an account becomes useful. That keeps the public message aligned with the real access rules.
Link puzzles to analysis
After analysis, choose a puzzle that matches the mistake type. A tactical blunder calls for a short motif. A strategic inaccuracy may be better handled by another game or a campaign session with a plan objective.
A good BlitzForge loop can be:
- play a game;
- review one mistake;
- solve a few related puzzles;
- play again with the instruction in mind.
Keep puzzles and quests separate
Puzzles can appear in daily quest objectives, especially around the daily puzzle. But quests are not only puzzles: they can also point to games, Echo, Proof or Forge.
Keep the systems separate. Puzzles train a position. Quests give the session an objective.
