The Daily Code

Read full description

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: โ€ข Red means the correct symbol is in the correct position. โ€ข Yellow means the correct symbol is in the wrong position. โ€ข 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 tomorrowโ€™s code.
