Daily Number Puzzle
Guess a hidden number in 6 tries. But here's the twist: you get clues first, not just feedback after guessing. This makes it logic-first, not luck-first.
How the clue-first system works
Before you make any guesses, NumberGlyph shows you a "fingerprint" of the hidden number:
Σ — Digit Sum
The total when you add all digits together. If Σ = 14 and it's 4 digits, you know the average is around 3-4.
Shape — The Pattern
Shows if digits go < up, > down, or = same. Like a mini graph of the number.
Tile Feedback
After each guess: 🟩 = right digit, right spot. 🟨 = right digit, wrong spot. ⬛ = not in number.
Example round
Now you guess. Say you try 2934:
2 and 4 are correct. 3 exists but wrong spot. 9 isn't in the number. Combine this with the fingerprint to narrow down fast.
Three difficulty modes
Easy
4 digits. Good for learning the clue system.
Medium
5 digits. The sweet spot for most players.
Hard
6 digits. Real challenge, same 6 guesses.
Why clue-first?
Most number guessing games are either pure luck (random guessing) or equation-heavy (solve math problems). NumberGlyph sits in between: you get constraints that make the puzzle solvable through deduction, not calculation or coin flips.
The fingerprint narrows thousands of possibilities down to dozens before you even start. Your job is to use logic to find the exact answer in 6 guesses.
Common questions
Do I need to be good at math?
No. You're not solving equations. If you can add single digits and spot patterns, you can play.
Is it the same puzzle for everyone?
Yes. One puzzle per day (per mode), same for all players worldwide. Resets at midnight UTC.
Can I play old puzzles?
Yes. The archive has every past puzzle going back to launch.
Is it free?
Completely free. No account required. No ads interrupting gameplay.
