What is Huedle?
Huedle is a colour-sorting puzzle that presents a scrambled gradient grid. Two opposite corners are locked in place and define the gradient's endpoints. Your task is to swap the shuffled tiles back into a smooth ramp. There is no hidden answer, no attempt limit, and no way to lose. The challenge is efficiency: how few swaps and how fast can you rebuild the gradient.
How to play Huedle
- Start the board. The timer and move counter begin immediately.
- Swap tiles by dragging one onto another, or by tapping one tile then tapping where you want it to go.
- Tap the same tile again to deselect it if you change your mind.
- Watch for confirmation dots. Each correctly placed tile gets a pulse, a sound, and a dot that stays visible.
- Continue until the full gradient is restored. The completion percentage, move count, and clock update live above the grid.
Why Huedle stands out
Huedle is designed for sorting rather than guessing. With no hidden answer or penalty for mistakes, it offers a low-stress daily puzzle experience. The feedback is immediate: dots confirm correct placements, turning what could be frustrating eyeballing into measurable progress.
The daily leaderboard tracks both time and move efficiency, so careful swaps matter as much as speed. The game is free, has no ads, requires no account, and includes the full archive for anyone who wants more than one board a day. It is still in beta, so scores and leaderboard results may reset during development.
Game modes
Today’s puzzle
The daily board shows its date, number, and difficulty. Grid size depends on the difficulty: Easy might use a 4×5 grid, while Hard can reach 6×7.
Archive
The archive has a month-by-month calendar of every board since launch. Each date shows the board’s difficulty and dimensions, along with whether you started or completed it.
Leaderboards
Each daily board has a separate leaderboard with columns for time, moves, and combined score. Tabs let you sort by any of the three.
Strategy tips
Start with the locked corners and work outward. Edge tiles blend two known colours, which makes them easier to identify. Once the borders are in place, the middle is easier to read.
Swap only pairs whose destinations are clear. Each swap moves two tiles, so deliberate choices help keep the count down. Because the leaderboard heavily rewards efficiency, a slower run with fewer swaps can rank higher than a fast one with mistakes.
On diagonal moves, trust the confirmation dots more than your eyes. The middle tiles change in both hue and lightness, which makes them hard to judge visually.
