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. Compare the clues, take notes, rule out the impossible, and find the only code that fits. No guessing, no luck: every puzzle is solved by deduction.

Minesweeper Twist is a variant of the classic game Minesweeper. Minesweeper is a simple puzzle game, where you need to use clues scattered on a grid to find all the mines. The clues are numbers indicating how many mines are in the neighboring tiles. Uncover incorrectly a single mine and you lose. Flag all the mines and you win. The variant: The difference is that the grid is irregular. On a regular grid, each cell has 8 neighbors, but in this case, they can have between 6 and 10. This leads to more difficult games, as you can't build the same mental tricks to solve where the mines are. Difficulty levels: The game opens on a beginner grid, which can be solved in a few minutes. You can increase the difficulty using the intermediate or expert settings, which will give you larger grids. You can also set custom settings, where you can have very large grids and also define the percentage of tiles that have a mine.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Minesweeper Twist at none against Dyslock's 3. Minesweeper Twist also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Dyslock's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and ratings volume (72 vs 4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dyslock sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Minesweeper Twist asks for nothing beyond the download.
Minesweeper Twist holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dyslock has 72 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Dyslock's written reviews are positive against 75% of Minesweeper Twist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dyslock ships an update every 5 weeks, Minesweeper Twist weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
