Logic
Cipher
Crack the combination in as few guesses as you can.
Cipher is a daily code-break. A hidden four-position combination uses six tumblers. After each guess every position gets a badge: a check for the right tumbler in the right slot, swap arrows for the right tumbler in the wrong slot, and a faded tumbler for one that is not in the code. Eight guesses to crack it.
How to play
- You get eight guesses to crack a four-position combination drawn from six tumblers.
- Drag a tumbler onto a slot, or tap a slot then tap a tumbler. Lock the guess in to read the feedback.
- Each position gets a badge: a check for the right slot, swap arrows for the right tumbler in the wrong slot, and a faded tumbler for not in the code.
- Use each guess to narrow the field. Tumblers can repeat in the combination.
Scoring and streaks
- Cracking the combination at all earns one star and counts toward your streak.
- Crack it in six or fewer guesses for two stars.
- Crack it in four or fewer for three stars.
Sharing your result
When you finish, you get a spoiler-free badge to share. It shows how you did, never the answer, so friends can be curious without spoiling their own puzzle.

Common questions
- Is everyone's combination the same?
- Yes. The hidden code is identical for every player each day.
- Can tumblers repeat?
- Yes. The combination can have the same tumbler in more than one slot. Repeats are part of the deduction.
- What if I run out of guesses?
- The day still completes, the combination is revealed, and your streak keeps going. You always earn at least one star for playing.
