Trouble starting seeds indoors

My sprouts are wilting, I was watering daily when the wilting began, now every other day and things are getting worse.

Any ideas?

My guess is over watering. Wait to water till the soil below the surface gets dry to the touch. The yellowing leaves are a huge sign of over watering. Let them dry out for a few days before watering again.

I'm guessing here but it looks like a heavy potting mix. For most seedlings it's better to use a seed starting mix. Probably root rot.
