Cryptex is a code-breaking game for one player. It is based on Mastermind, one of the most famous classical board games. The logics and game rules are very similar to an earlier invented game called Bulls and Cows, played with a pencil on paper. The app generates a random code with 4, 5 or 6 letters, and your task is to guess the correct combination as quickly as possible. The game is simple, fun and addictive. With every try you get two pieces of information: 1. CL - Correct Letter - the total number of correctly guessed letters in the entered combination. 2. CLP - Correct Letter and Position - the total number of correctly guessed letters with correct positions in the entered combination. Happy code-breaking!

About

Password Cracker

Features
Read full description

A hacker is at the edge of breaking an important security system and a code set. A password appears and it is the final challenge to hack the system. Find the combination of the code but be careful you have limited guesses. The game is a spinoff of a board game called "Mastermind" and there is a combination of colors set before each time you play the game and you try to guess it with limited tries. As a master at this game we advise to find the colors first and then their positions however hacking can't be done in a single way. Good luck.
