Padlock

What is Padlock?

Every morning a new unbreakable padlock appears with a secret 4- or 5-digit combination. Your mission: crack it in 10 guesses or fewer using pure logic. No lucky guesses allowed — only smart deduction and the game's brutally honest feedback will set you free.

The core twist that makes it addictive? The mini color blocks next to each guess don't tell you which digit is right or wrong — just how many. It's a deliciously cruel information puzzle that rewards pattern recognition and elimination. One wrong assumption and your chain of logic collapses. Survive the daily Padlock and you'll feel like a cryptographic genius.

Padlock Game Rules

• 🟩 Green — Correct digit in the correct position.
• 🟨 Yellow — Correct digit but in the wrong position.
• ⬛ Gray — Digit not in the code at all.
• You must guess the hidden 4-digit (or 5-digit on harder modes) code. Digits can repeat. You have a maximum of 10 attempts.
• After every guess, a row of mini colored blocks appears to the right:
• The colored blocks do NOT correspond to specific positions in your guess. They only tell you the count of each type of result. You must use pure logic to figure out which digits go where. Repeat digits are allowed and handled fairly by the feedback. Run out of guesses and the padlock stays locked forever (until tomorrow's new code).

Strategy & Tips

• Begin with guesses using distinct digits (0123, 4567, etc.) to maximize information.
• Track eliminated digits religiously — gray is your best friend.
• When you get yellows, systematically test those digits in every position.
• Use the process of elimination: if you know three positions, the last one is forced.
• Play the 5-digit advanced mode once you're hooked — the extra digit ramps up the chaos deliciously.
