About this picture

A roadside farm stand in rural Vermont showcases an abundant autumn harvest. Tiered wooden shelves and crates hold large orange pumpkins, bushel baskets of ripe red apples, ribbed green squashes, and glass jugs filled with golden cider. Bunches of dried multi-colored corn hang from the timbers alongside potted purple and yellow chrysanthemums. In the background, a vintage red pickup truck sits near a white village church framed by rolling hills blanketed in red and gold fall foliage under a clear afternoon sky.

Tips for this puzzle

Start by assembling the distinctive white church steeple and the clear blue sky in the upper left, which provide an easy anchor before sorting the dense orange pumpkins and red apples below.

How the daily challenge works

A new photo goes live every day at midnight US Eastern time, and everyone gets the same board. Your first board of the day is the one that counts: finish it for 20 stamps, 10 more for finishing with 2:24 still on the 6:00 clock without extra time, and 10 more for doing it in 65 moves or fewer. Come back on the next day to keep your streak: every day in a row adds 5 stamps, up to 30. You also see how you did against everyone who played that day. There are no hints in the daily challenge. Playing needs a free account.
