# Alphalock

> Crack a four-letter word without position hints.

Daily Word game · [Play Alphalock](https://www.alphalockgame.net/) · <https://dledex.com/games/alphalock>

A cross between Wordle and the board game Mastermind. Each guess is a four-letter word, but the feedback only tells how many letters belong in the answer, not where they go, so solving relies on deduction across several guesses. Designed by Elizabeth Wilson, it offers one combination per day to unlock.
