FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Good questions. Fast answers.
What is CINCO?
CINCO is a free daily number-path puzzle. Connect five adjacent cells on each of five shaped boards, then combine the five round scores into one total.
Does everyone get the same puzzle?
Yes. Every player receives the same five boards for that day's challenge, so shared scores are directly comparable.
Can I start on any cell?
You can start on any exposed edge cell. After that, move up, down, left, or right through five unique cells. No diagonals and no repeats.
How is the final score calculated?
Each board scores the sum of your five selected numbers. The five round scores are added together to create your daily total. Higher scores always rank first; faster total time breaks a tie.
Can I play more than once?
There is one official result per day. After completing it, you can return to view and share your result while you wait for tomorrow's puzzle.
Where are my progress and streak saved?
They are saved in your browser on the device you use. Deploying a new version of CINCO does not erase them, but clearing site data or switching browsers or devices can.
Do I need an account?
No. CINCO is free to play in a modern web browser without signing up.
