How to Play DailyGrid — Rules & Examples

Guess the hidden 4-digit code (digits 0–9, repeats allowed) in 8 tries. After each guess every tile tells you how close that digit is.

The rules

1. Type a 4-digit guess on the keypad and press Enter.
2. Each tile shows a colored shape: a check (right spot), a half-disc ring (wrong spot), or a dash (not in the code).
3. Use the feedback to narrow down the answer — it is pure logic, no luck.
4. Solve it within 8 guesses. Everyone in the world gets the same puzzle each day (UTC).

Reading the feedback

Each state pairs a color with a distinct shape, so you can solve every puzzle without relying on color.

A worked example

1. 0

   1

   2

   3

   Step 1. 0 and 3 are in the code but misplaced; 1 and 2 are not in it at all.

2. 3

   0

   4

   5

   Step 2. Position 1 is 3. The 0 is in the code but not position 2; 4 and 5 are out.

3. 3

   6

   0

   8

   Step 3. 3 and 6 are locked in positions 1 and 2, and 8 is correct in position 4 — only position 3 remains, and 0 must go there.

4. 3

   6

   0

   8

   Step 4. Placing the misplaced 0 into the one open slot completes 3608 — solved by logic alone.

FAQ

How many guesses do I get?

Eight. Every daily puzzle is verified to be solvable by pure logic within that budget.

Can digits repeat in the code?

Yes. The hidden code can contain the same digit more than once, which makes the feedback slightly richer to read.

When does a new puzzle appear?

At midnight UTC. Everyone in the world plays the same puzzle for that UTC day, which is why the date is shown in UTC.

Is the feedback color-only?

No. Every feedback tile pairs a colored fill with a distinct shape (check, half-disc ring, or dash), so the puzzle is fully solvable without color perception.

Does sharing my result spoil the answer?

No. The share text contains only the colored glyphs and your step count — never the digits.
