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.

Send every bee home. No traffic jams. Beelines is a calm, one-more-move sliding puzzle. Tap a bee and it flies in a straight line until something stops it — a blossom, another bee, or the edge of the board. Fly it off the board into its colour-matched hive to bring it home. One honest rule, hundreds of clever puzzles. EASY TO LEARN, DEEP TO MASTER • Tap — that's the whole tutorial. Level 1 takes ten seconds. • Plan the order: bees block each other, and one wrong tap costs the 3-star. • Beat the move limit; chase par for 3 stars on all 420 levels. FIVE MIND-BENDING MECHANICS • Redirect arrows bend a bee's flight mid-air • Portals warp bees across the board • Paint tiles recolour a bee — it needs a different hive now! • Colour doors only open for matching bees • Nectar pools stop a bee for a sweet sip A JOURNEY OF 35 WORLDS From Sunny Meadow to the Moonlit Meadow, the Frosted Garden and beyond — 420 handcrafted and expertly generated levels, every single one verified fair: always solvable inside its move limit. SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY • Daily puzzle with streaks • Weekly hard mode for experts • Endless mode with rising waves • Daily gifts and rotating missions • Share any board — friends play the exact same puzzle and race your score MADE TO RELAX • Soothing per-world soundtrack and gentle sounds • No timers, no lives, no pressure — undo any move • Colourblind-friendly mode, reduced motion, haptics • Fully playable offline.
