About webcade

webcade is a small arcade in the browser.

Mindpatch has four daily puzzles: Word Grid, Sudoku, Memory Match, and Color Cipher. Snake is a high-score chase. Vocab Challenger asks you to choose the right word in context. Matches let you play someone live at Word Duel, Word Race, Cipher Race, or Sudoku Co-op.

House rules

Everyone gets the same puzzles.: Mindpatch's puzzles change at midnight Pacific time, and every player gets the same ones that day.
One go a day.: Each daily puzzle can be finished once. Tomorrow brings a new one.
Lower scores win.: A puzzle's score is what it cost you: guesses in Word Grid, mistakes in Sudoku, turns in Memory Match, attempts in Color Cipher.
Play first, sign in later.: Mindpatch and Snake work without an account. Sign in to keep your puzzle stats, put Snake scores on the leaderboard, and play matches or Vocab Challenger.
No ads, no recordings.: webcade counts page visits and game events to find what breaks. It never records your screen, follows you to other sites, or sells your data. The privacy page has the details.
