Padlock
What is Padlock?
Padlock is a browser-based number puzzle that blends the guess-and-check loop of Wordle with the deduction logic of Mastermind. The target is a secret four-number code, and each puzzle challenges you to crack it using reasoning.
How to play Padlock
Enter a four-number guess to start. After each guess, the game returns clues that tell you something about how that guess compares to the hidden code, and you use those clues to refine your next attempt. Keep going until you lock in the correct sequence.
Tips & strategy
- Start with a guess that uses four different numbers to maximize the information from your first clue.
- After each clue, rule out any code that would not produce the same feedback you received.
- Change only one position at a time when you are trying to confirm a specific digit.
- Keep track of confirmed and eliminated numbers, either mentally or on paper.
