How it works
Scrambled Word
You’re shown the target word scrambled (same letters, different order). Rearrange it into the correct order.
Cipher Puzzle (classic)
Prefer the original MindShift feel? Play Cipher mode, where letters are shifted and you crack the pattern under pressure.
5 Columns
Each column cycles through the same 5 letters from the target word (shuffled). Tap ▲/▼ to pick the letter for each position.
Ranked by speed
Score is final time (solve time + penalties). Hints help, but always cost time.
Hints (with penalties)
Check which positions are correct, reveal a position, or reveal the theme hint. Each hint adds a time penalty.
Guest Mode
Let friends play without signing up. Guest Mode is perfect for quick pass‑and‑play—upgrade later to keep your progress synced.
Practice to get faster
Practice puzzles help you build skill + speed (choose Cipher or Scramble). Practice never affects the leaderboard.
