# Daily Challenges

> Earn rewards every day by hitting word count and battle milestones. Progress is tracked automatically.

Daily Challenges reward you for writing and battling each day. Every day brings a fresh set of challenge levels across two tracks: **Words Written** and **Battles Fought**. Hit a level's goal and the reward drops into your inventory instantly. Nothing to activate or sign up for.

> **Where to find it:** Navigation bar → **Command Center** → **Daily** tab

## How it works

Open the **Command Center** (top-right area of the screen) and tap the **Daily** tab. You'll see your current day's progress across both challenge tracks with a series of levels, each with its own goal and reward.

### Words Written

The top section shows your total words for the day followed by a series of challenge levels (100 words, 500 words, etc.). A progress bar fills as you write. When you hit a level's goal, it marks as **Completed** and the reward is delivered immediately.

Every word you write anywhere in 4thewords counts: battles, documents, any writing session. No need to write in a specific place.

### Battles Fought

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/4thewords/c9y9pD9ktdQZ1sV2/images/daily-challenges-battles.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=c9y9pD9ktdQZ1sV2&q=85&s=8997da52ae75519ca4b9bd101f67c503" alt="The Battles Fought section showing the daily battle count and challenge levels with progress bars" style={{maxWidth: '50%', display: 'block', margin: '0 auto'}} width="876" height="1580" data-path="images/daily-challenges-battles.png" />

Below the word challenges, you'll see your **Battles Fought** total and a matching set of levels (1 battle, 5 battles, etc.). Every monster you defeat counts regardless of type, quest, or [area](/adventure/adventure-world/overview#unlocking-new-areas).

### Rewards

Each challenge level displays an item icon with a quantity next to the progress bar.

* **Rewards are automatic.** The moment your progress meets a level's goal, the reward goes straight to your inventory.
* **Multiple levels can complete at once.** A big writing session that pushes past several word goals completes all of them and delivers all rewards.
* **A "Daily Challenge Level Crossed" notification** appears in your notification feed showing what you earned.

### Daily reset

All challenge levels reset to zero at **midnight in your account timezone**. Whatever you earn today is yours; tomorrow is a fresh start. No penalty for skipping levels.

<Tip>
  If your challenges seem to reset at an unexpected time, check your timezone under [**Account → Settings**](/account/account-and-settings). Your timezone determines when "today" begins and ends.

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Do I need to activate Daily Challenges?">
    No. Daily Challenges are always active for every Dust Warrior. Write and battle, and your progress is tracked automatically.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do word challenges and battle challenges share progress?">
    No. Words Written and Battles Fought are separate tracks with their own levels and rewards.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if I complete all the levels in one day?">
    You keep your rewards and all levels reset the next day. If you hit every level, you've maxed out for the day.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="My challenges seem to have reset in the middle of the day.">
    Your account timezone may not match your actual location. Go to [**Account → Settings**](/account/account-and-settings) and verify your timezone is correct.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I completed a challenge level but don't see the reward in my inventory.">
    The reward is granted automatically. Check your inventory; the item may already be there. If you have a stack of that item, the quantity should have increased. Try refreshing if it still doesn't appear.
