About this picture

Two scarlet macaws sit side by side on a mossy branch in the Tambopata rainforest of southeastern Peru. Warm sunlight illuminates their vibrant red, yellow, and blue plumage amid the dense canopy. Around the birds, blooming magenta orchids climb the textured tree bark, while broad split-leaf monstera foliage and bromeliads fill the foreground. In the lower corner, a bright blue morpho butterfly rests on a green fern. Tambopata protects rich biodiversity, providing a vital haven for wild parrots across the Peruvian Amazon.

Tips for this puzzle

Start by assembling the brilliant red bodies of the two macaws and the vivid blue morpho butterfly, as their distinctive bright colors stand out clearly against the surrounding sea of green leaves.

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.
