Getting your timezone right is critical: the game calculates your writing streak based on your local midnight, so a wrong timezone can cause streak breaks even when you’ve written.Where to find it: Left sidebar → Account → Settings (or Profile) Open in 4TW ↗

- Find the Timezone field.
- Select your current timezone from the dropdown.
- Save.
If you travel or move, update your timezone so streak calculations stay accurate.
