Read full description

Code Breaker is a 12-round word puzzle built around shifting cipher logic, category-based deduction, and earned hints that reveal just enough to keep a good solver moving. The player chooses one category for the run, then decodes 12 words from that same lane while later stages stop obeying the simple rule that one letter always maps to one letter.
