Description

Deduce is a fun way to learn and visualize the process of logical deduction. It’s a uniquely challenging game combining logic, vocabulary, and spelling skills (with a small element of luck) played with words. Your goal is to discover a hidden mystery word with as few guesses as possible. Deduce acts as an assistant who enforces the rules, provides hints, keeps track of your progress, collects statistics, manages saved games, and (for Game Center users) awards achievements. Reviewers have said: "One of my favorite games", "Other games get installed-played-uninstalled, but this one stays", "Challenging and addictive", "Very original and lots of fun", "Im completely hooked", "Hope I can stop playing it soon!" Features: 1. Many thousands of possible games (more than 20,000) 2. Comfort level - Deduce can be as easy or challenging as you like, with optional features to assist your thinking. Play with easier 5 letter words or more difficult 6 letter words. NEVER ANY ADS TO DISTRACT YOU! 3. Game Center integration. Statistical results, scores, and saved games are associated with the active Game Center player. If you are not logged into Game Center, you may supply your own player name for separate game tracking, or play anonymously. If you use Game Center, scores are reported to Classic, Novice, and Puzzle leaderboards. A Champions leaderboard ranks the overall quality of your play over time. Achievements may be earned based on the quality and persistence of your game play. As you earn Deduce achievements discover 50 19th century literary giants of the western world, who were also masters with words. A portrait medallion, with a biography link, is awarded for each achievement -- collect them all! 3. Mystery Word definitions. When you finish a game of Deduce, a definition of the mystery word is provided. Increase your vocabulary as you play more games. Definitions come from’s Apple’s downloadable dictionaries or Wiktionary, whichever is available. 4. Game records. Save your games automatically or selectively. Create beautifully formatted PDFs of your games for sharing or printing. 5. Preferences. Use the Settings App to specify global options for Deduce, such as autosave (which automatically saves a limited or unlimited number of your completed games). 6. Easy sharing with friends or other devices. Find a game really challenging? You can challenge friends to find the same mystery word by sharing a Deduce game number via Airdrop, Messages, or email. Deduce also plays well on a shared device. Each family member can play using their own name or Game Center account with separate saved games, statistics, and (for Game Center users) achievements. 7. A polished user experience with improved marking and simpler game play. Use letter dials or a keyboard to enter your guesses. On an iPhone, enlarge guess list for easier manipulation. Reorder your guesses to see more potential patterns. Having trouble thinking of words? Use the Suggest button! Need advice about your game play? Tap on Sherlock for tips and encouragement. And check out the help info to learn about letter frequencies and common suffixes. 8. Select your favorite photo as a backdrop for playing Deduce, or use one of our two built-in backdrops.

A new take on an old classic

Jargon MG · 15 years ago

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I used to spend hours playing Mastermind with my sister and anyone else who might be interested.. Those colored dots were both the source of agony and exhilaration.. The author of this application has taken that classic and breathed new life into it, using letters, rather than colored dots (although the background colors tend to remind me a lot of those dots).. Ive owned this app since version 1.0, and the improvements are outstanding and show a lot of well-thought out efforts by the developer. The latest version is no exception, and having the "floating tips" on the iPad app help focus your concentration when youre staring off into space wondering what 6 letter word to guess next. I would give this app 5 stars, and do hope for continued success. I do have one request, which is to be able to skin the UI so that there are times I can escape my youth and not be so distracted by the colors.

Fun

Simple concept and pretty easy to play in a line while waiting. Id love to see the graphics changed from the purple color splash screen and the main screen background; and the iPad layout optimized a bit more for the space.

Love it!

Very original and lots of fun.

Update on a classic game

TNuzzi · 15 years ago

If you played any word games growing up you would love Deduce. My kids like playing it and with the suggest feature they didn’t get stuck thinking of words. It allows you to save games and share them with friends. A fun game to fill a few minutes.

Excellent Game

Deduce Player · 15 years ago

Great game to pass the time, especially if you love word games. The UI is not super intuitive, but makes sense if you read the instructions. This is a minor complaint though, as the play is engrossing enough that you quickly forget about the UI.
