BreakLock
A hidden pattern, nine dots and feedback that rewards careful elimination.

BreakLock turns a familiar phone-unlock gesture into a deduction puzzle. Draw a path through the dots, then use the feedback to revise it. A filled marker means a selected dot belongs in that position; an outline marker means the dot is used elsewhere in the secret sequence. The markers describe the attempt as a whole, so you still have to work out which choice each clue refers to.
The useful habit is to change one idea at a time. Replacing the whole path after every attempt makes it harder to learn from the last result. On Easy, four dots leave room to reason about order; Medium and Hard extend the pattern to five and six. Practice is the sensible starting point before trying a timed mode.
Its restrained presentation leaves the thinking to you. That is a good fit for players who enjoy testing hypotheses, but less helpful if you want a tutorial to explain each failed guess. It is a small puzzle to concentrate on, rather than a game to leave running in the background.
Controls
- Drag through the dots with a mouse or a touch gesture to submit a pattern.
- Choose Easy, Medium or Hard before starting. Use Practice to learn the feedback.
- Use Abort to leave the current puzzle.
Rules
- Find the hidden ordered sequence of dots.
- Filled feedback markers mean correct dot and position; outlined markers mean a correct dot in a different position.
- Easy uses four dots, Medium five and Hard six.
Who it suits
Players who like logic puzzles, code-breaking and short experiments with clear feedback.
