Daily Letter Checkbox: How It Works
Every day, the unbooked boxes on the Startup Launch Page canvas become a puzzle. Your goal: discover hidden letters by checking boxes with similar colors — using the fewest clicks and least time possible.
The canvas before you start — letters are hidden in the colors
Discovering letters — the puzzle bar tracks your progress
How to play
The canvas is a 1,500-box grid. Boxes that haven't been purchased by a startup are filled with random colors. Hidden within those colors are up to 5 letters that spell out a word.
Each letter is formed by a cluster of boxes that share a similar color. Your job is to check the boxes you think belong to the same letter. When you've selected enough of the right boxes, the letter reveals itself.
You get up to 5 letters, up to 5 clues. The puzzle resets once per day.
Scoring
Two things matter: fewest checked boxes and fastest time.
Your score feeds directly into the leaderboard. Fewer boxes checked + faster time = higher rank.
Strategy tips
- Look before you check. Scan the grid for clusters of boxes that share a similar hue. Letters are formed by color similarity.
- Start with the obvious clusters. Some letters will have a very distinct color group. Knock those out first to save time.
- Avoid scatter-clicking. Every wrong check costs you negative points. Be deliberate.
- Come back daily. The puzzle resets once per day — a new word and new letter placements every time.
Why it matters for startups
The puzzle creates a daily reason to visit the canvas. Players come back every day to play, and while they're scanning the grid for color patterns, they're also seeing every startup logo on the board.
This means grid customers get consistent, recurring exposure — not just a one-day launch spike. The puzzle turns passive viewers into engaged, returning visitors.
