## About

Guess the hidden five-color code in six tries. A daily color puzzle inspired by Mastermind.

## How to Play ChromaCode

Tap each slot in the current row to select it, then tap a color swatch in the palette below to fill it. Once all five slots are filled, hit Submit to reveal the feedback. A green check means exact match, a yellow arrow means the color exists in the code but at a different position, and a grey X means it is not in the code at all. Use the clues to narrow down the code within six guesses.

## Why Color Puzzles Train Your Brain

Color perception is a surprisingly trainable cognitive skill. Distinguishing close hues under mild pressure exercises visual attention and working memory simultaneously — you must hold your mental model of the hidden row, update it after each feedback reveal, and adjust your next guess accordingly. This two-layer process of perceptual discrimination and logical elimination is more cognitively demanding than either skill alone. The Mastermind format has been studied in educational psychology as a tool for developing systematic hypothesis-testing habits, because players who guess randomly plateau quickly while players who form explicit rules progress efficiently. Regular color puzzle play has been linked to sharper noticing of fine chromatic differences in design work, art, and everyday visual tasks.

## FAQ

### How does ChromaCode work?

A hidden code of 5 colors is generated each day. Submit your guess and each slot gives feedback: green check means exact match, yellow arrow means the color is in the code but at a different position, and grey X means the color is not in the code at all.

### What do the difficulty levels change?

Easy uses 8 distinct colors, Medium uses 16, and Hard uses 24 closely related hues. The number of guess slots (5) and attempts (6) stay the same.

### Is the daily puzzle the same for everyone?

Yes. The daily code is generated from the UTC date, so every player worldwide gets the same puzzle each day.

### Can I play more than once a day?

Switch to Unlimited mode for endless randomly generated puzzles. Your daily streak only counts the Daily puzzle.
