You start in a muddle. You leave with the answer.

muddle is a daily puzzle site. One puzzle per game per day, identical for everyone, playable in a few minutes, ending in something worth sending to a friend. It rolls over at midnight UTC, so there is exactly one conversation happening about it at a time.

Today there is one game, Code Breaker. More are being built. The site is deliberately arranged so that adding one is a day’s work rather than a rewrite.

No account, ever, to play. Progress lives in your own browser. If you clear it, it is gone — that is the trade for not asking you to sign up for a puzzle.

The archive is open. Every puzzle published so far is still there, in order, free.
