How to play EmberMosaic

EmberMosaic is a short browser deduction game. Each kiln hides a five-tile target. You get six guesses to rebuild that exact order from the heat clues returned after every attempt.

The six tiles

  • 1 — Ember
  • 2 — Tide
  • 3 — Moss
  • 4 — Brass
  • 5 — Plum
  • 6 — Chalk

How the heat clues work

  • Locked: right tile, right slot.
  • Warm: right tile, wrong slot.
  • Ash: that tile is not in the hidden mosaic.

Rules that matter

  • Every target uses five unique tiles. No repeats appear in the hidden mosaic.
  • You can use the same tile more than once in a guess if you want to test a theory, but the best deductions usually come from cleaner spreads.
  • The board ends immediately when you lock all five slots or when the sixth guess finishes.

Controls

  • Click the tile buttons or press keys 1 to 6.
  • Backspace removes the most recent tile from the current guess.
  • Enter submits a full five-tile guess.
