About Mazele

In Mazele the maze is invisible. Each day there is one hidden path that starts somewhere in the left column of a grid and ends somewhere in the right column. You draw a guess by selecting squares (click, or drag to select several), submit it, and the game answers with indicator blocks at the end of every row and column.

The indicators work like Wordle's colours, but for counts. Black means the row or column has the wrong number of filled squares; orange means the count is right but the squares are in the wrong place; green means the count and the positions are both right. Combining the clues from rows and columns lets you narrow down the path, and you have six guesses to find it exactly.

The day's maze is fetched by date, so everyone gets the same one, and the share text carries the puzzle number and your score with arrows showing your guesses. Mazele has been running since spring 2023, with a tutorial, statistics and a long list of achievements for streaks of up to three years.

It suits players who like Wordle's feedback loop but want a spatial puzzle, and fans of nonograms who enjoy reasoning from row and column counts.

How to play Mazele

1. Look at the empty grid: the path starts in the left column and ends in the right column.
2. Select squares to draw a guess at the path, then press Submit.
3. Read the indicator block on each row and column: black for the wrong count, orange for the right count in the wrong place, green for the right count and place.
4. Use the clues to refine your guess and find the exact path within six guesses.

Tips

• Start with a straight line or a simple shape so the first set of counts is easy to read.
• Green rows and columns are fixed: keep those squares in every later guess.
• Orange counts tell you how many squares belong in that line, so shift them rather than adding or removing.
• Play the tutorial first if the row and column indicators are new to you.
