How to play NumberGlyph

Q: What is NumberGlyph?

NumberGlyph is a Wordle-style daily number puzzle. You guess the hidden number using tiles plus fingerprint clues like Σ (sum of digits) and Shape (the up/down pattern between digits).

Q: What do the tiles mean?

Green means the digit is correct and in the right place. Yellow means the digit is in the answer but in a different place. Grey means the digit is not in the answer.

Q: What does Shape mean?

Shape shows how each digit compares to the next one: > means down, < means up, = means the same.

Q: How many guesses do I get?

You have 6 guesses to find the secret number.

Q: Do reveals cost a turn?

Yes. If you tap to reveal extra fingerprint cards (like Odd/Even, Prime count, Unique digits, Σ²), each reveal consumes one of your tries.

Q: What are the difficulty modes?

Easy is 4 digits, Medium is 5 digits, and Hard is 6 digits.

Q: Can I play old puzzles?

Yes — use the archive to play previous dates.

NumberGlyph is a Wordle-style daily number puzzle. You guess the secret number in 6 guesses using tiles plus two powerful fingerprint clues: Σ (sum of digits) and Shape (the up/down pattern between digits).

How NumberGlyph works

Goal: guess the secret number in 6 guesses. Each guess gives you tiles (like Wordle) + a compact fingerprint.

1) Tiles

🟩 Green = right digit, right place
🟨 Yellow = digit exists, wrong place
⬛ Grey = digit not in the number

2) Two clues you always get

Σ = the sum of all digits
Shape = how each digit compares to the next one: > means “down”, < means “up”, = means “same”

Shape example (4 digits):
6 0 8 1
6>0, 0<8, 8>1   →   ><>
      

3) One worked example (super quick)

Imagine the secret is 6081.

Fingerprint you see:
Σ = 15
Shape = ><>
      

Now guess 6012:

Guess:  6 0 1 2
Tiles:  🟩🟩🟨⬛
- 6 correct spot
- 0 correct spot
- 1 exists somewhere else
- 2 not in the number
      

That’s it — repeat guesses and use the fingerprint to narrow it down. It gets addictive once you “see” Shape.

4) Optional reveals (tap to show)

On the game screen, Σ and Shape show immediately. The rest start hidden — you can tap a card to reveal it.

O/E (Odd/Even by slot) — tells you if each position is Odd or Even.
Example: 6081 → EEEO
P (Prime digits) — how many digits are prime (2,3,5,7).
Example: 6081 → 0 primes
U (Unique digits) — how many different digits are used.
Example: 6081 → 4 unique
Σ² (Sum of squares) — sum of each digit squared (helps separate “same sum” numbers).
Example: 6081 → 6²+0²+8²+1² = 36+0+64+1 = 101

Reveals don’t change the answer — they just give you more clues. (And in your share text, we list which ones you used.)
