All four hands face up, 6 cards each, ♦ trumps. You play South and the dummy against a perfect defence. Take five of the 6 tricks.
Finesse is a free daily double dummy from Mind Loft: a bridge-style card puzzle with all four hands face up. You play South and the dummy opposite, one suit is trumps, and the contract names how many of the tricks you have to take. The two defenders are played by an exact solver that can see every card, so there is no luck anywhere in the deal and no bidding to learn.
The rules are three lines: follow the suit led if you can, the highest card of that suit wins, and a trump beats anything that is not a trump. Every deal is banked only after a search proves the contract is exactly makeable, so a line that survives the defence is proved rather than lucky. The deck grows through the week, from four cards a hand on Monday to the full eight on the Sunday Edition, which is the same puzzle at greater depth.
A new deal drops every day at midnight Eastern. No app, no signup, play free in your browser, keep a streak, and race the daily leaderboard. More card dailies: Hands, the daily poker solitaire, Taire, our two-suit solitaire, and Shoe, the daily blackjack shoe.
