Darkwaar is an experiment in creating and publishing small playable ideas regularly.

Today's puzzle

Today's Darkwaar is Darkwaar15 — Signal, a tiny decision console.

Each level asks one kind of question. NOUL: are the lit marks even? CHOICE: which pattern matches? SCORE: which band holds the bars? Dark wells hide part of the signal. Diamonds are noise. The confidence bar reaches the gate only when the wells still closed cannot change the answer.

A tiny browser puzzle for a few minutes of play.

How to play

• Tap a dark well to open it
• Squares count. Diamonds do not
• YES / NO answers a noul. A 1 0 style buttons answer a choice. LOW, MID, and HIGH answer a score
• Commit below the gate and the console refuses, without showing the answer
• Commit the wrong output and it shows the reading. Three misses reset the level
• Restart is always available
