Frequently asked questions
› Is the answer the same as Wordle? Trust & accuracy
No — VibeCipher picks from its own curated 5-letter pool. Plays are unlimited and do not sync to any daily word.
› Does it sync stats across devices?
No — stats live in localStorage on the device you played on. Different browser, different stats.
› Can I share a result? Trust & accuracy
Yes — the win/loss modal has a Share button that copies a summary or invokes the device share sheet.
› How do I use a puzzle helper without spoiling the game? How-to
Use a puzzle helper after your own first attempt, not before every move or answer. Read the rules, try a round cold, then use the guide to understand misses, patterns, and better strategy. That keeps the puzzle fun while turning mistakes into practice.
› What should I learn first in a new puzzle game? Definition
Learn the rules, win condition, scoring, and one opening habit before chasing advanced tactics. Most players improve fastest by removing obvious mistakes: unclear turns, wasted guesses, ignored constraints, or overusing hints. Strategy only matters once the basic loop is automatic.
