What is Puzzle Number - Previous Day's Puzzle

Avatar of mdclermont

How do I find the puzzle number for a previous daily puzzle? Today's puzzle will show you the puzzle problem number. But I don't see it for a previous day's puzzle.

For example, I want to know the number for the 12/28/22 puzzle. I know I can find it by website/mobile app date pickers and also by manipulating the URL (https://www.chess.com/daily-chess-puzzle/2022-12-28 but change date). But where is the puzzle number on a previous puzzle?

Thanks,

Matt

Where exactly are you seeing a number? Other than the date I'm not aware of any number being shown.

It only showed up the first time I solved it. Now when I go back (even under my dad's login who hadn't solved it) it doesn't show it. I wrote it down, it's 1402726. But it's irritating that I can't find it for other daily puzzles - or even today's now.

Puzzle Trainer has puzzle IDs but the Daily Puzzle doesn't

Yes, I think mdclermont is confusing the Daily Puzzle

https://www.chess.com/daily-chess-puzzle

which doesn't have a puzzle id, with

https://www.chess.com/puzzles/rated

which shows an id once the puzzle is solved.

The rated puzzles are also timed. The Daily Puzzle is not timed.

Also, after you solve the rated puzzle you will see the download icon. When you click that you see the URL of the puzzle which can be copied. For example:
