Features:

  • 8 Difficulty Levels — Beginner (1–10) to Impossible (1–10,000)
  • Admin Settings — Enable/disable levels, control guest access from WP Admin
  • Smart Try Limits — Based on binary search math, so every game is always solvable
  • Player Statistics — Track games played, win rate, streaks, and best scores
  • Anti-Cheat — Secret number stored server-side, never exposed to the browser
  • Beautiful UI — Custom game logo, dark header, smooth animations, confetti on wins
  • Mobile Responsive — Looks great on any device
  • Lightweight — No jQuery, no frameworks, pure vanilla JavaScript (~6KB)
  • Guest Support — Stats persist via localStorage even without login
  • i18n Ready — Fully translatable

Frequently Asked Questions

How are the try limits calculated?

Try limits are based on binary search: ceil(log2(range)). This means every game is mathematically solvable if you use the optimal strategy of always guessing the middle number.

Does it slow down my site?

No. The plugin loads only ~6KB of JavaScript and ~10KB of CSS. No external libraries or CDN calls.

Can visitors cheat?

No. The secret number is stored server-side using WordPress transients. The browser never receives the answer until the game ends.

Does it work without user login?

Yes by default! Guest players get a session ID stored in localStorage. Admins can disable guest access from Settings > Number Game.

Can I disable certain difficulty levels?

Yes. Go to Settings > Number Game and toggle any level on or off.
