Planetary system with a solar eclipse every day - need help designing

+0
−0

I have a habitable moon orbiting a gas giant. The moon is not tidally locked with the gas giant. The orbital plane of the moon around the gas giant is the same as the orbital plane of the gas giant around the sun.

What I want is a combination of moon's rotation speed around itself and orbital speed around the gas giant that will result in the gas giant eclipsing the sun every day, as seen from the surface of the moon.

Edit: My original question above is not correctly defined. What I actually want is not an eclipse once per objective day somewhere on the moon, but rather this: I want every inhabitant of the moon to experience an eclipse approximately once per their subjective day, no matter where they are on the surface of the moon.
