Question 1

Which way do the wheels turn?

Accepted Answer

Tap the right half of a wheel to turn it clockwise, the left half to turn it counter-clockwise. The wheels are meshed, so every tap also turns the neighbouring wheels by a hidden gear ratio · learning those ratios is half the puzzle.

Question 2

How does turning one wheel affect the others?

Accepted Answer

Each wheel is geared to its immediate neighbours by a fixed, hidden ratio (between two notches backwards and two forwards per tap). The ratios never change during a round, so one test tap per wheel tells you exactly what every future tap will do · from there you can calculate the solution instead of guessing.

Question 3

Is there a move limit?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no tap budget and no fail state · you solve at your own pace. The tap counter under the board just lets you challenge yourself (or a friend on the same save code) to finish in fewer taps.

Question 4

Is the puzzle the same for everyone?

Accepted Answer

Yes when handed the same seed. The wheel count, the notch count, the hidden coupling, and every wheel's starting offset are all derived from the round seed.

Question 5

How does difficulty change it?

Accepted Answer

Higher difficulty adds wheels (up to four), uses finer notches, and scrambles the start further · more couplings to deduce and more notches to walk each marker home.

Question 6

Does it work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. PlayMemorize is a Progressive Web App. Install once and Circle Puzzle works without an internet connection.
