2024 Jun · HackMIT admission puzzle
Wodou
Wordle-inspired Chinese calligraphy cipher puzzle.
Every year the HackMIT organizing team writes puzzles. Top X puzzle solvers are automatically admitted to the undergraduate hackathon. I made Wodou for HackMIT 2024.
On the surface it's Wordle, except the board is prefilled with Chinese characters... and you're guessing 6 characters.
Underneath, it's a cryptography puzzle. Good luck!
