I'm also having this problem, I tried to get 6 new daily games going around 28 hours ago and they've yet to be Paired.
The problem was just recently fixed and there are a lot of games in the queues. My understanding is the ones already in the queue will get paired when new challenges are made if they match. My guess is the process chooses the oldest outstanding seek first.
It's very possible that the queues should mostly clear up this weekend sometime for most challenges.
Where do you go to check your seeks so I can cancel them?
You can do that on the website. Go to Play > Games > Daily Games and change to Outgoing Challenges
