About

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: • 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.

About

Sand Up

Features
Read full description

Sand Up is a relaxing 3D sand sorting puzzle where colorful objects melt away piece by piece. Rotate the object, tap matching color pieces, and turn them into flowing sand. Fill bottles, complete sets of three, and clear each target as the sculpture slowly disappears. Plan your moves carefully. If a color has no matching target, its bottle moves into temporary storage. Keep enough space open, manage your colors, and finish the whole object before your slots fill up. Simple to play, satisfying to watch, and full of colorful sand-clearing fun.
