About This Game
Daily Siege is Wordle's format applied to tower defense. Everyone who plays on a given day gets the identical siege — same map, same wave order, same tower drafts, all derived from the date — and your first run of the day is the one that counts. There's no grinding a level until it breaks, because there's only one honest attempt, and everyone else is attempting exactly the same thing.
It's a puzzle rather than a reflex game. Five waves, five towers total for the entire siege, and tower ranges are deliberately local — nothing you can build blankets the board. Covering a snaking path from the entry to your keep with only five limited-range pieces is the whole problem, and any gap you leave leaks.
How to Play
Before each of the five waves you're offered three towers and you draft one, then place it on an empty tile. That's it — five drafts, five placements, and the siege plays out. Your keep has fifteen hearts; enemies that reach it take them.
A run takes two or three minutes in portrait, one thumb. Your score is waves cleared plus hearts remaining plus kills, and when you finish the game hands you a Wordle-style emoji grid you can paste into a chat without spoiling the day's siege for whoever reads it.
Strategy Tips
- Place for path coverage, not for the prettiest spot. Because ranges are local, two towers covering the same stretch of path is a wasted draft — spread them along the route.
- Look at where the path bends before you place. Corners keep enemies inside a tower's radius roughly twice as long as a straight run does.
- You only ever get five towers, so an early draft you took because it was the best of three still has to earn its tile four waves later. Think about the whole path on draft one.
- Hearts are score. A run that clears all five waves at six hearts scores worse than one that clears at twelve — leaking 'safely' is still costing you the leaderboard.
- Your first run is the ranked one. If you want to experiment, know that you're spending today's real attempt to do it.
