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!
