Huedle

What is Huedle and how do you play it? It is a free colour puzzle with a fresh board every day. You arrange coloured tiles into a perfect gradient, or you guess the hex code of a colour the game picks out. Sounds unusual? Keep reading, because each part is explained below.

What Is Huedle?

Huedle is a daily colour puzzle that costs nothing to play. A new board arrives every day, so yesterday's puzzle never comes back. Ionata Digital stands behind this WASM experiment. WASM stands for WebAssembly, a technology that lets programs run fast right inside a web browser.

What Challenges Does the Game Offer?

The game revolves around colour and comes with two kinds of challenge:

• Gradient building: you swap tiles across the grid so the colour flows smoothly from one end to the other.
• Hex guessing: the game marks one colour with a # symbol, and you guess its hex code.

A hex code is the string of characters after the # sign, and computers use it to name a colour. For example, #FF0000 is pure red.

Quick Facts at a Glance

How Do You Play Huedle Step by Step?

Open the board for today. First. Then comes the challenge before you.

Gradient Challenge

Gradient: go around the complete grid, find the lightest and darkest tiles, then exchange tiles so the colour changes a little at each step.

Hex Code Challenge

For the hex guess: look at the colour highlighted with # and try to guess the hex code.

Tips for Beginner Huedlers

First look at the broad image. Imagine the finished gradient then move tiles one at a time.

• Sort by brightness: push light tiles toward one end and dark tiles toward the other, then fill the middle.
• Learn to read hex: the six characters after # split into three pairs, standing for red, green and blue. The closer a pair is to FF, the stronger that colour.
• Do not fear a loss: the board changes daily, so a fresh puzzle waits for you tomorrow.

Is Huedle Hard?

The game is easy to pick up, since the rules fit in one sentence: arrange the colours or guess the code. The skill that needs practice is your eye for colour. After a few days in a row, you start to notice which shades belong together, and you never have to memorise anything.

Huedle suits you if you like quick daily puzzles and pay attention to colour. Each round takes only a few minutes and costs nothing, so give it a try and come back tomorrow.
