About

Cluebind

Features
Read full description

Cluebind is a daily 4-digit logic puzzle with a twist: once a clue turns green, it must stay true. You start with one clue. Make a guess. If your guess satisfies the clue, it locks in green and the next clue appears. As more clues turn green, the puzzle tightens and every change becomes riskier. Green clues are commitments. Change your guess and you might break an earlier clue. Breaking the bind costs a life. You can take risks to learn faster, or play it safe and build certainty. Clues range from simple comparisons to number properties and totals. Digits can be 0–9 and repeats are allowed. Every puzzle is solvable, and each day brings a fresh shared challenge. Features • Daily 4-digit puzzle, shared by everyone • Clues revealed one at a time as you satisfy them • Green clues stay locked; breaking them costs a life • Tap any clue to see an example (without giving away the answer) • Difficulty levels from Gentle to Devious • Track streaks, win rate, and best solve times • Share your result with a clean, spoiler-free grid If you like Wordle-style daily games, Mastermind, or logic grids, but want more strategy and commitment pressure, Cluebind is for you. Keep clues alive. Hold the bind. Solve the number.
