About the game
Vodar is a daily blending puzzle. Twelve ingredients are laid out face up with their numbers on show; pick four, and the game answers on every axis at once — too sweet, not strong enough, just right — so each try tells you which way you are wrong, not merely that you are. Six tries to prove the mix.
Most daily puzzles answer right or wrong. Vodar answers with a direction. Submit four ingredients and every axis reports separately — too sweet, not strong enough, balanced — which turns a guess into evidence and a game into an argument you can win on paper.
A different pantry each morning: coffee on Monday, spice on Tuesday, paints on Wednesday, perfume on Thursday, golden hour on Friday, the table on Saturday, tisane on Sunday. Seven, and regulars learn all of them.
Every answer is checked by a solver before it is ever served, so no day can end in a coin flip between two possibilities — and no mix that balances on all four axes is ever the wrong one. Solve it and the day’s vessel floods with colour.
You can play today’s puzzle in your browser right now — the same engine, compiled to run on the page, with nothing to install. The apps for iPhone and Android are in preparation.
What makes it good
- Directional clues — every guess says which way each axis is off, not just that it is.
- Always deducible — a solver vets every answer, so no day ends in a coin flip.
- Seven pantries — a different palette every weekday, from coffee to paints to tisane.
- Three tiers, three separate dailies — Hard takes the match count away entirely.
- The app does the arithmetic — running totals, live gauges, and the count of mixes still possible.
- Quiet by design — no ads, no accounts, no tracking, and it plays fully offline.
