Shap10r challenges your logic and deduction skills with 24 unique shape-color combinations called Shaplors. Your goal? Crack the answer key by adding Shaplors in the correct sequence. How to Play • Green outline: Correct Shaplor, correct position. • Yellow outline: Correct Shaplor, wrong position. • Use Shaplor values to narrow down the answer. • Keep track of previous guesses to avoid repeats. • Process of elimination is key to solving the puzzle. Game Mechanics (Just Play Mode) • Five random Shaplors form the answer key. • You have 10 chances to find the correct sequence. • Each Shaplor’s value is determined by adding its shape value and color value. • Normal Mode: Answer keys are sorted from low to high. • Hard Mode: No sorting—making it trickier! Scoring • Earn points based on how quickly you place Shaplors correctly. • The higher the row, the more points you score. • Solve the full answer key for a bonus! Try the Daily Glimpse! • A new puzzle every day with a unique six-Shaplor challenge. • Limited to six guesses—can you solve it in time? • Each day, the answer key is sorted low to high or high to low—but which one? Example Shaplor: If squares = 100 and blue = 5, then the blue square Shaplor’s value is 100 + 5 = 105. Think you’ve got the logic to master Shap10r? Play now and climb the leaderboard!

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Shap10r against 5.0 for Noddle.
