About

Mastermind

Features
Read full description

The classic code-breaking game — reimagined. Mastermind: Code Break challenges your logic and deduction. Each game, a secret 4-color code is generated. You have 10 attempts to crack it. After every guess, hint pins guide your thinking — black for the right color in the right spot, white for the right color in the wrong spot. No luck. No timers on screen. Just pure deduction. TWO DIFFICULTY MODES Normal mode allows color repetition — the same color can appear more than once in the secret code, which dramatically increases the challenge. Easy mode guarantees each color appears at most once, perfect for new players or a quick game. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Every game is recorded. Head to your stats screen to see your win rate, current and best win streak, your fastest solve time, your average number of guesses, and a full guess distribution chart — just like Wordle, but for colors. BUILT FOR DAILY PLAY Each game takes 2–5 minutes. The clean, distraction-free interface keeps you focused on the puzzle. No sign-in required. No internet connection needed. Your stats and settings are saved automatically between sessions. FEATURES AT A GLANCE • 6 colors, 4 positions, 10 guesses • Easy mode (no repeated colors) and Normal mode • Per-guess elapsed time display (can be hidden in Settings) • Win rate, streaks, best time, average guesses, guess distribution • Separate stats for Easy and Normal modes • Settings saved between sessions • 100% offline — no account needed • Accessible dark UI with high-contrast colors Download free and start cracking.
