About this game

New sophisticated and challenging mind game with Internet rankings of uploaded games of all levels.

Find out a given random order of letters respectively colours within a minimum of attempts and time expense.

Indirect distance (2 Dis) and neighbourhood (2 Pair) information is provided for this purpose.

With 11 realistic combinations of 4 hint types per puzzle Shirizu offers over 500,000 different tasks. Not realistic is a game with only one of the 4 hint types, especially in the high levels.

From November 2019, Shirizu will be offering the new functionality 'dynamic display of the remaining sum of all distances with respect to the previous attempt', which will hopefully help you at least at the higher levels.

Different from popular comparable brain teasers Shirizu additionally offers spaces for having some luck. So Shirizu might become a new brain teaser classic like Sudoku.

Shirizu can be played in 2 modes (beginner, professional) and 5 levels, with an additional transparency option to look inside a game logic.

  ■     level 4 (4 fields)     get started
  ■     8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 = 00,024 puzzles
  ■     level 5 (5 fields)     quick success
  ■     8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 = 00,120 puzzles
  ■     level 6 (6 fields)     rough challenge
  ■     8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 = 00,720 puzzles
  ■     level 7 (7 fields)     exceptional challenge
  ■     8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 = 05,040 puzzles
  ■     level 8 (8 fields)     ’Shirizu Guru’
      8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 = 40,320 puzzles

Experience and intuition grow with the number of played Shirizu games, comparable to other known logic puzzles. So you surely have to train diligently to have the full benefit from Shirizu and to enjoy the full fun with Shirizu.

This Shirizu version on Android™ offers very comfortable functionality and features (beginner and professional mode, transparency option, hint selection, preliminary attempt check, visual display of the check results, dynamic display of the distance totals with respect to the last attempt, simulations, demos, and rankings) and is therefore also very suitable especially for children.

You can save your game results on the Internet and compare them with the game results of other Shirizu players.

This Shirizu version on Android™ is a really well rounded brain teaser (🇩🇪 Denksport 🇩🇪) with the potential to reach the degree of popularity of other comparable brainteasers like Sudoku.

The entry level 4 is free. Levels 5 through 8 are offered as in-app purchases. From level 5, subscriptions for posting in the ranking are offered.

The new version 2.0.0 offers a free 30-day trial period.
