Can you crack the code? Dyslock is a pure logic puzzle inspired by the classic Mastermind. A secret code is hidden. Each clue shows a guess and its pegs: how many symbols are in the right place, how many are in the code but in the wrong place, and how many are not in the code at all.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: CodeAB at none against Dyslock's shown. CodeAB also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Dyslock's advantage is ratings volume (72 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
