Four new mystery charts every day, with the satisfaction of figuring out what the data represents from clues alone.
Hueman
What is Hueman?
Hueman is a free daily puzzle that tests your color perception. Each day, everyone sees the same grid of colored tiles and must find the single tile that is a slightly different shade. It's a simple, Wordle-like format with three lives and a score based on how far you get.
How to play Hueman
Look at a grid of colored tiles and tap the one whose shade differs from the rest before the timer runs out. Each correct answer advances you to the next level, where the color gap shrinks, the grid grows, and the timer gets shorter. A wrong tap or an expired timer costs one of your three lives; the level you reach when they're gone is your final score.
Tips & strategy
- Scan the whole grid quickly before focusing on any single tile — the odd shade often pops out when you compare across rows.
- Squint or look at the screen from a slight angle to make brightness differences easier to spot.
- Use your one free practice round each day to warm up your eye before the official puzzle.
- When you're close to the timer, it's better to make a reasonable guess than to lose a life by running out of time.
- Play on the same device and browser every day, since your streak and history are saved only in that browser's local storage.
Frequently asked questions
Is Hueman free?
Yes. The daily puzzle is completely free in your browser, with no account or signup. The site has ads, and there's an optional credits system for extra runs, but it never affects the main daily leaderboard.
When does the new puzzle come out?
A new puzzle goes live every day at midnight UTC, and it's identical for everyone worldwide. You can enable browser alerts or set a calendar reminder so you don't miss it.
Is Hueman a color blindness test?
No. Hueman is a game, not a medical test, and it can't diagnose color blindness. Shade differences include brightness shifts, which helps keep it playable with most types of color vision deficiency.
How are my streaks and stats saved?
Your streak, best level, and day-by-day history are stored locally in your browser on that device. No account is involved, so clearing site data, using private mode, or switching devices will start your record fresh.
What is the Unlimited board?
Hueman has two leaderboards. The Daily board ranks everyone's first run of the day, while the Unlimited board ranks your best run no matter how many attempts you take. Every free player is automatically entered once; credits can buy extra attempts and optional handicaps like an extra life or slower clock, but they don't make the odd tile easier to see.
