Tap the odd shade out
Tap the odd shade out
HUEMAN is a free daily color game — like Wordle, but for your eyes. Every day there's one new puzzle, the same for everyone on Earth. Tap the tile with the slightly different shade — the odd one out — before the timer runs out. Each level the color difference gets smaller, the grid gets bigger, and the clock gets shorter. Three lives, then your final level is your score.
Look at the grid of colored tiles and tap the one that's a slightly different shade before the timer bar empties. A wrong tap or running out of time costs one of your three lives. When your lives are gone, your final level is your score — share your Wordle-style emoji grid and see whose eyes are sharper.
No — HUEMAN is a game, not a medical color vision test, and it can't diagnose color blindness. Shade differences include brightness shifts, so it stays playable with most types of color vision deficiency. If you have concerns about your color vision, see an eye care professional.
A new puzzle goes live every day at midnight UTC, identical for every player worldwide. Tap the bell icon to enable browser alerts or grab a daily calendar reminder so you never miss a drop.
Your streak, best level, and day-by-day history are stored locally in your browser on this device — no account, no signup. That means clearing site data, playing in private/incognito mode, or switching to a different device or browser starts your record fresh, so play on the same device to keep your streak alive.
Yes — the daily puzzle is completely free, forever, in your browser, with no account and no signup. The site carries ads to keep it that way. There's one optional extra: credits, which buy additional runs at the same day's puzzle. Those extra runs compete on a separate Unlimited board, so nothing you can buy affects the main daily leaderboard. HUEMAN is a Puzzle Page game: discover more daily puzzle games, or build and publish your own, at puzzlepage.app.
HUEMAN has two daily leaderboards. The Daily board ranks everyone's first run of the day — three lives, standard clock, no assistance — and once your run is filed it can never be changed, by you or by anyone paying for anything. The Unlimited board ranks your best run of the day however many you take, and every free player is entered on it automatically with their single run. Credits buy more attempts at the same puzzle everyone else got, plus optional handicaps like an extra life or a slower clock. They never make the odd tile easier to see.
One free practice round a day, on top of the daily puzzle itself. A practice round uses random colors instead of the day's puzzle and is never ranked — it doesn't touch your streak, your stats or either leaderboard. If you want another go that actually counts toward a leaderboard, that's what an Unlimited run is: today's real puzzle again, ranked on the Unlimited board.
It plays in any browser on your phone or computer: no download, no app, no signup. If you grew up on spot-the-difference games like Kuku Kube or I Love Hue, or you start your morning with daily puzzles like Wordle, Connections, Colordle, or Hexcodle, HUEMAN fits right into the rotation — and takes about two minutes.
