Cipher

Crack the combination in as few guesses as you can.

See the part of your brain this keeps active →

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

  1. You get eight guesses to crack a four-position combination drawn from six tumblers.
  2. Drag a tumbler onto a slot, or tap a slot then tap a tumbler. Lock the guess in to read the feedback.
  3. 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.
  4. Use each guess to narrow the field. Tumblers can repeat in the combination.

Scoring and streaks

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.
