One secret color a day. Six guesses. The hints point the way.
Every day at 00:00 UTC there's a new secret color — the same one for everyone. Dial in hue, saturation and lightness, then guess: after each try the hints tell you which way to turn each dial. Nail it in as few guesses as you can.
Huedle is a free daily colour puzzle in the spirit of the daily-word games that took over everyone's mornings — except the answer isn't a word, it's a colour. Every day at 00:00 UTC the game picks one secret colour, and it's the same colour for every player in the world, so you and everyone else are all chasing the same target. You get six guesses to home in on it using three sliders — hue, saturation and lightness — and after each guess the game tells you, for every slider, which direction you're off and roughly how far, along with an overall match percentage showing how close you came.
The appeal is the same as any good daily: it's a single, bite-sized puzzle you can finish in a couple of minutes, and then you're done until tomorrow. Scoring runs on the server and rewards solving both early and accurately, so there's a real difference between scraping a solve on your last guess and nailing it on your second. Each day has its own leaderboard, daily winners collect crowns, your monthly and all-time totals build up over time, and playing every day grows a streak that's its own reason to come back.
Huedle is easier once you stop thinking in terms of paint and start thinking in the three dimensions the sliders actually control. Hue is the colour family — where you sit on the rainbow, from red through green and blue and back again. Because it's a wheel, red is close to both orange and violet, which is why a hue arrow is telling you the shortest way around. Saturation is how pure the colour is: high saturation is vivid and electric, low saturation drifts toward grey. Lightness is simply how bright or dark it is, from near-black up to near-white. Hue carries the most weight in the match score, so getting the colour family right first makes the other two far easier to read — a "greyish mid blue" is a much smaller space to search once you know it's blue at all.
Daily puzzles earned their popularity by doing the opposite of most games: instead of endless play, you get exactly one puzzle a day that everyone in the world shares. That scarcity is the whole charm — it turns a quick puzzle into a small daily ritual and a point of comparison with friends, and it removes any temptation to grind. Huedle is an original take on the format that swaps letters for colour perception, so the skill you build isn't vocabulary but a genuine feel for how hue, saturation and lightness combine. Scoring and the secret colour are generated and checked on the server so every player's daily result is fair and comparable.
Is Huedle free? Yes — a free puzzle every day, supported by ads, with nothing to buy.
Is it the same colour for everyone? Yes — every player worldwide guesses the same secret colour each UTC day, which is what makes the daily leaderboard meaningful.
Do I need an account? No. Your streak and crowns follow the display name and device you play on.
When does a new puzzle start? At 00:00 UTC each day. When you've solved the day's colour, you're done until the next one drops.
How is my score decided? The server rewards solving in fewer guesses and landing closer to the exact colour, so both speed and accuracy matter.
