Features

Deduction, not luck

After each guess you know how many colours are right and how many sit in the right position. From there it is pure deduction, and every round is solvable.

Daily challenge

One new code a day, the same for everyone. Perfect for the daily puzzle with your coffee and for comparing results in the family.

Several difficulty levels

From relaxed to demanding: more colours, more positions, fewer attempts. Easy to get into, with room to grow.

Fully accessible

Colours are also distinguishable by symbol, every element works with VoiceOver and Dynamic Type is supported.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PatternCrack?

PatternCrack is a logic game where you have to crack a secret colour code. After each guess you get feedback, black pegs mark a correct colour in the correct position, white pegs mark a correct colour in the wrong position.

What difficulty options are there?

You can configure difficulty individually, code length (3–6 pegs), number of colours (4–8), number of guesses (6–15 or unlimited), and whether duplicates are allowed.

Can I get a hint?

Yes, in custom games you can use one hint per game, which reveals one colour of the secret code. It does cost you a guess, though. The Daily Challenge has no hints, so every player faces the exact same puzzle.

What is the Daily Challenge?

Every day, all players worldwide get the same secret code, with only one guess. Can you keep a winning streak going day after day? Via Game Center you can compare yourself to friends and the global leaderboard.

Can I share my Daily Challenge result?

Yes, after the Daily Challenge you can share a spoiler-free result summary. It shows your run as a progress bar together with your current streak, without giving away the secret code, perfect for comparing with friends.

Is there a widget?

Yes, the “Daily Challenge” widget is available for both the Home Screen and the Lock Screen. It shows at a glance whether you have already played today's challenge and how long your current streak is. Tapping it opens the app.
