How to find documentation on the different game formats?

Today I was curious about the "daily chess" format, but I have no idea how it works, so I tried to find a description or some kind of documentation of what it is and how it works. To my surprise, I just cannot find this information anywhere at chess.com. I have searched everywhere on the site, and I can't find any information about any of the formats that can be played.

I have the faint memory that when you start a game of a specific variant for the first time, there's some link or button to see the rules/description of the format. However, I would like to see the details of "daily chess" before I try starting a game. But I can't find this information anywhere.

One would think that, for example, when you click on Play>Daily Chess, there would be a link or button somewhere where you can see the details of the format. But either I'm blind, or I can see any. If there is such a link, it seems to be quite well hidden. I still don't know what kind of format this is.

This information shouldn't be this hard to find.
