About North Up Daily

North Up Daily is a free daily map puzzle. Each day you get a new map split into tiles — all rotated the wrong way. Spin them until north points up and the place looks right again.

How to play

Click or tap a tile to rotate it clockwise. Keyboard users can focus a tile and press Enter, Space, Arrow Right, or R for the same rotation. Solve as quickly as you can with as few moves as possible — hints and extra rotations lower your score. When you finish, add a nickname and try for the daily leaderboard.

Use How to play in the navigation for full controls, scoring, and hints.
