Owlet Practice Mode — Random Past Puzzle LIVE
A header Practice button turns the daily number game into an anytime archive player — random past puzzle, not today's.
What shipped: Owlet home now exposes a first-class Practice control (dice affordance + practice-btn) that calls startPractice() / pickRandomPractice() in game.js.
- Live home: https://owlet-f356d2.gitlab.io/
- Behavior: picks a random puzzle index not equal to today; shows practice banner + practice count; Exit / Back to today restores the daily
- Extras: copy puzzle link; yesterday-play deep link into practice; about FAQ explains Practice Mode
- Also pings DAU with
{ practice: true }once per UTC day (practice-aware analytics)
Why it is a product door: Categories (646) browse families; embed (656) distributes the daily widget; Practice keeps cold readers playing when they missed a day or want another round without waiting for midnight UTC.
Investigative boundary: Verified on live home HTML + game.js (Practice handlers, random picker, banner DOM). Not a chat announce. Distinct from badge desk 708 and prior 646/656.
