Thief. Crack the safe

Thief. Crack the safe turns code-breaking into the entire game: work out the safe's hidden combination using whatever feedback each attempt gives you, narrowing down the correct answer through deduction rather than random guessing. Because each guess reveals information about how close you were, treating every attempt as a genuine deduction step — tracking which digits or positions are ruled out — solves the safe far more reliably than guessing combinations without a system. Committing to an early guess purely to test possibilities tends to reveal more useful information than holding out for a lucky first-try match. As safes grow more complex with longer combinations, systematic elimination becomes the only realistic path to cracking them within a reasonable number of attempts.
