The Daily Code

The Daily Code is a daily logic puzzle built around one simple challenge: crack the hidden four-symbol code in six attempts or fewer. Each guess gives you feedback: • Red means the correct symbol is in the correct position. • Yellow means the correct symbol is in the wrong position. • Dark means the symbol is not part of the code. Symbols can repeat, so every guess matters. DAILY CODE Solve one new code each day, build your streak, and compare your progress over time. PRACTICE Play unlimited practice puzzles whenever you want to sharpen your deduction skills. STATS Track your current streak, best streak, solved puzzles, win rate, and Daily Code history. SHARE YOUR RESULT Share your Daily Code result without revealing the solution. REMINDERS Optionally enable a daily reminder so you never miss tomorrow’s code. REMOVE ADS Practice mode includes occasional ads. A one-time Remove Ads purchase is available for players who prefer an ad-free experience. Simple rules. Six attempts. One code a day.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Dots at none against The Daily Code's shown. The Daily Code's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 4 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
