Eaeme,

They used to be posted on the Leader Board. At that time, there weren't enough people playing Sudoku to justify leaving them there. For example, even today there were only 7 people who passed the game of the day. We could try putting it back and see if that increases the number of people who play.

Thanks for your feedback,
-Jim

Jim,
Thanks for the explanation. Another sort of related question is: "When does the day change?" I suspect that you have chosen midnight in some time zone, but which one, and is it standard or daylight savings or simply referenced to GMT. If there are so few players, maybe that info is enough for me to see how I stand among participating players.

The day starts at midnight, GMT. I think that's 4 or 5 pm Pacific time, depending on whether it's Daylight Saving Time or not...

Even though it isn't on the leader board, we try to make it so games come up that other people have played. Right now it's tuned for the super popular games (freecell, klondike, forty thieves) and so less popular games like sudoku and scorpion are suffering (it looks like no one else is playing). We don't like the current state and are planning ways to fix it so that it always feels like there are other people playing the games you see.
