Debuggle

Debuggle is a daily coding puzzle where your mission is to identify a famous algorithm from its heavily redacted source code by revealing it word by word.

You start with a screen full of block characters hiding a well-known algorithm. Click or guess to uncover individual words. Each reveal costs you, so you need to balance exploration with deduction. The goal is to name the algorithm before you run out of reveals or give up.

• The entire algorithm is hidden behind block characters at the start.
• Click blocks to reveal words one at a time, or type your guess.
• Every word you reveal helps narrow down what algorithm you're looking at.
• Identify the algorithm correctly to win.
• A new algorithm drops every day.

Why we like it:

• ✅Scratches the itch for developers and computer science fans without requiring you to actually code.
• ✅You learn to recognize algorithms by structure, not just memorized names.
• ✅Short enough to squeeze into a coffee break, but genuinely makes you think.

Hint: Look for structural giveaways early. Nested loops suggest sorting or searching. Recursion patterns point toward divide and conquer. Let the shape guide your guess before you burn reveals on every word.
