Mind Cipher
Read full descriptionHide full description
Mind Cipher is a Mastermind-style code-breaking game — Bulls and Cows, Hit and Blow, played with colors — filed as a spy dossier. Crack the hidden color code from ink marks: a filled dot is exact, a ring is the right color in the wrong slot, a dash is not in the code. The marks never rely on color, and an optional Shape Marks setting gives every peg its own outline. Then open the Lie file. Exactly one report in the round is fake. The rest are true. Cross-check the reports, find the contradiction, and crack the code anyway. Classic cases teach the real marks: 240 cases from beginner to master. Lie cases run a matching 240 where one clue always lies. Today's Case is a new puzzle every day, with Top Secret lie days and a home-screen widget. Duel Mode is pass-and-play: one sets the code, the other breaks it. Notes sit on the board so you can mark eliminated and confirmed colors. Informants (hints) are recruited by closing cases. Every closed case ends with a stamped report you can share. No ads. No account. Free to start: Today's Case, Duel, Classic 1–40, and Lie 1–80. Pro is a one-time $2.99 unlock for the rest of both files, Free Play, and the custom editor. The app follows your language, or you can set it in Settings: English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Español, العربية, Deutsch, Français, עברית, Português, Türkçe.
Logik

Logik is the classic code-breaking game, with nothing in the way of it. I hide a row of coloured pegs. You guess it. After every guess I answer with scoring pegs: • a black peg — one of your pegs is the right colour in the right place • a white peg — one is the right colour, but sits somewhere else I never say which of your pegs they refer to. That is the whole game. Colours may repeat, so the whole code could be a single colour. That is what makes counting the pegs harder than it looks. TWO VARIANTS Easy — 4 pegs, 6 colours, 10 guesses. The original game of 1971. Hard — 5 pegs, 8 colours, 12 guesses. 32,768 possible codes. A SCORE WORTH BEATING Time, guesses and variant fold into a single number, so a hard game and an easy one can be compared. Fewer guesses always score better — the clock only ever adjusts the result, never decides it. The clock stops the moment you leave the app, so a phone call in the middle of a game never costs you a record. Best scores are kept for each variant separately. MADE TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY • Four languages: English, Czech, German and Spanish. It follows your phone, or you pick one yourself. • A distinct symbol on every peg, for players who cannot tell eight colours apart by hue. • Sound you can switch off from the board itself, not only from a settings screen. • No accounts, no sign-in, no leaderboards, no cloud. • Your records live on your phone and leave with the app. Free, with an occasional full-screen ad after a finished game — never over the revealed code, and never after your first game.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Logik at none against Mind Cipher's 4. Logik also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Mind Cipher's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
