The hot daily games board: 40 games and the site behind each one
THE BOARD
31 of 40 have a confirmed site; 9 do not
"Not confirmed" is itself a finding: of those 9, some have two live sites claiming the name, some resolve to a for-sale placeholder, some are a different game with the same name — each row says which. Another 4 rows are media-site features (nytimes.com, vulture.com, britannica.com), where the traffic belongs to the whole publication and cannot be split per game. The visits total is the sum over the 28 distinct hosts, not over 40 separate games.

Two live sites answer to Originle (originle.io "one person, three guesses", originle.app "where am I from?"), so we do not attribute the chart entry to either.

▲▼ is the change against the previous chart, "—" means unchanged, "NEW" means a first appearance, and ★ marks a new peak this week. Weeks include this one. An empty registration or traffic cell means the site is unconfirmed or the provider has not published that month.
TWO SOURCES
The ranking is Playlin's; the site, the date and the traffic are ours
Rank, movement, weeks and peak are transcribed row by row from Playlin 40 chart #24 (week of 2026-10-19, covering 2026-10-09 to 2026-10-16) and credited at the top of this page. The site, the registration day and the monthly visits are ours: a domain is only written down when the page itself carries the game's name, and since an old domain is not a new product, the date shown is the current domain's registration day and the first traffic month is printed beside it.
How Playlin admits a game
Playlin counts a game once it launches publicly and picks up favourites. Free, no-account, once-a-day games are eligible; paid placement and editorial spotlights are excluded.
How we check the site
We open the domain and require the game's name in the page text. A parked page, a for-sale listing or a different game with the same name does not count. What we cannot confirm is printed as "Not confirmed" rather than guessed.
Registration and traffic
Registration days come from each TLD's RDAP (whois for .gg) and monthly visits from Query.Domains, read on 2026-10-25. Neither is our estimate and neither is a SimilarWeb "total visits" figure; where a publisher shares a host (lessgames.com, for example), the traffic is the whole host's, not that one game's.
BUBBLING UNDER
Not on the chart yet, already moving
Playlin prints a short list under each chart. We keep it, because next week's top ten most likely starts here.

A chart can flatter; site data cannot
A rank only says somebody plays it. To decide whether a category is worth building for, read the list view: one row per game, with domain, registration day, monthly visits and mechanic tags on one table.
