HOW TO PLAY

Decoydle mixes seven number facts with ten choices, three of which are decoys. Match pairs in any order. While Coy is present, a wrong pair costs one of two strikes and resets that fact; a correct pair stays locked. After both strikes are spent, the game continues blind: assign the remaining numbers, revise unlocked choices if needed, then lock them in for a score out of seven. Two mistakes do not automatically end the round.

  1. Read all seven facts and the ten number choices. Seven numbers are answers and three are decoys; each selected number can belong to only one fact.
  2. Select a fact and its proposed number. With strikes left, correct pairs lock; wrong pairs cost a strike, reset the fact and prevent repeating that failed pairing.
  3. After the second wrong guess Coy vanishes. Continue without right/wrong feedback; you can change the remaining unlocked assignments before final submission.
  4. Fill every remaining fact and lock in your answers. The score counts correctly matched facts out of seven, with strikes used recorded separately.
  5. Use the source’s tutorial for a demonstration and Archive for available dated puzzles. Stats, Friends and save-code services are original-site features, not proof of an original account or cross-device sync here.
