An article is hidden. Can you find it? Every day, new articles show up completely masked. Try a word: if it’s in the article, it appears. If it’s close, the colour tells you, from red (far away) to green (very close). Find the words of the title and you win! You don’t need to be an expert. Closeness isn’t about spelling, it’s about meaning: context matters more than letters. WHAT YOU’LL GET • Three new articles every day, in English and French • One colour per word: red is far, green is very close • Your best words always at hand, one tap away • A hint when you’re stuck, and pictures to reveal • Your daily streak, your stats and your rank among other players • A diploma to share with friends once you’ve cracked an article • Past articles to catch up on • Game Center and Play Games leaderboards and achievements • A dark mode that’s easy on the eyes A game takes about as long as a coffee break, or much longer if the article fights back. Your move! Dekripto needs an internet connection to check your words.
