Description
Note: This version of Deduce supports iOS 13, but requires at least iOS 10.3 or later.
Deduce is a fun way to learn and visualize the process of logical deduction for players of all ages. It's a uniquely challenging brain game requiring clear thinking (and a small element of luck) played with six-letter words. Deduce a mystery word by exercising both your vocabulary/spelling skills and your ability to make logical inferences. The goal is to discover the mystery word with as few guesses as possible. Deduce acts as an assistant who enforces the rules, provides hints, keeps track of your progress, sets up match games, and awards achievements. No ads, no in-app purchases, just pure fun!
Reviewers have said:
"One of my favorite games", "Other games get installed-played-uninstalled, but this one stays", "Challenging and addictive", "Very original and lots of fun", "I'm completely hooked", "Hope I can stop playing it soon!"
Features:
1. Game Center integration. Statistical results, scores, and saved games are associated with the active Game Center player. If you are not logged into Game Center, you may supply your own player name for separate game tracking, or play anonymously. If you use Game Center, scores are reported to Classic, Novice, Match, and Puzzle leaderboards. A Champions leaderboard ranks the overall quality of your play over time. Achievements may be earned based on the quality and persistence of your game play. As you earn Deduce achievements discover 50 19th century literary giants of the western world, who were also masters with words. A portrait medallion is awarded for each achievement -- collect them all!
2. Online Matches will return in a future update. You may play a Deduce match race with an opponent, or challenge a friend by selecting his or her mystery word yourself. If you are not racing to deduce the same word, watch your opponent's game as it's played. Text chat during or after the match. Until this feature returns, you can challenge your friends by sharing a Deduce game number via Airdrop, email, or iMessage.
3. Mystery Word definitions. When you finish a game of Deduce, a definition of the mystery word is provided. Increase your vocabulary as you play more games.
4. Game records. Keep or mail beautifully formatted PDFs of your games or matches to yourself or others, or print your games using AirPrint.
5. Global settings. Use the Settings App to specify global options for Deduce, such as autosave (which automatically saves a limited or unlimited number of your completed games).
6. Easy sharing with friends or other devices. Find a particular game really challenging? Send it or airdrop it to nearby friends.
7. Improved user experience, improved marking and unmarking, and simpler game play. Use letter dials or a keyboard to enter your guesses. On an iPhone or iPod touch, pinch/spread the guess list to enlarge it for easier manipulation. On any device, swipe across the guess list to eliminate or restore guesses with no hits. Reorder your guesses at any time. Having trouble thinking of words? Use the Suggest button! Need advice about your game play? Tap on Sherlock for tips and encouragement.
8. Select your favorite photo as a backdrop for playing Deduce, or use one of our two built-in backdrops.

3.4
2015-09-16
Caution: Deduce 3.4 requires iOS 8 or later! It features the following improvements:
• Full iOS 8 support, and tested with iOS 9 betas.
• Native support for iPhone 6, 6 Plus, and future models, using autolayout techniques.
• Greatly improved performance.
• Fixes for many small, but annoying bugs.
• A new reset button offers a convenient way to clear the input staging area when using the letter dials or the software keyboard.
• For iPhone and iPod users, a small button near the upper left of the list of guesses makes it simple to enlarge (or shrink) the list for easier tapping on individual letters.
• If you were using the Autosave feature to automatically save each of your completed games, go to the Apple Settings app, scroll down the list of apps on the left until you find Deduce, then switch the Autosave button off and back on again. This will re-activate the Autosave feature. Note that autosaved games show up in the Deduce Game Manager section, and do not include games that you resign (unless you choose to save them manually yourself).
• You may notice that we removed the “floating words” option. That feature is now redundant. Use the Suggest button to find words matching specific patterns, or tap on Sherlock in the Menu dialog to see a random list of words in the backdrop.
• And finally, some news: we expect to be able to restore Deduce’s multiplayer capability with the future release of Deduce 4.

3.01
2013-09-24
Note to users running prior versions of Deduce with iOS 7: due to an unfixed Apple defect in iOS 7, arbitrary sequences of letters may be accepted as guesses. A work-around in the iOS 7 version of Deduce fixes this; please upgrade to the latest version of Deduce (3.01).
Ignoring Game Center login also fixed with this release (3.01).
Deduce 3.0 & 3.01—Now completely re-imagined for iOS 7!
Starting with our new icon featuring the master of deduction, Deduce 3.0 sports a lighter, more intuitive look and feel, and many new features including:
• A new puzzle form of Deduce. Since the words you need to discover the Mystery Word have been preselected, it's a great way to visualize the logical implications of a choice while learning the mechanics of proposing or eliminating letters.
• Easier game play. A greatly enhanced Suggest button is available whenever you have trouble thinking of a possible word, but it comes with a price! Each suggestion you request lowers your potential score. Also, you may now manually reorder your guesses to keep related words or hit counts together as the game progresses.
• Better layout and arrangement of game controls, particularly when played on an iPhone or iPod Touch.
• More ways to save, manage, and share your game experience.
• Tap Sherlock whenever you need advice or encouragement.
• Optionally use one of your own images as the backdrop for your game play, with included iOS 7 motion effects.
A temporary restriction in this new version: multi-player mode has been disabled. Not many of you have been using it, and we think we know why! Look for a significantly enhanced multi-player capability in a free future upgrade.
It's now easier than ever to rate or review Deduce (first, sign in to Game Center, then from Deduce, tap Menu->Game Manager->Player->Leaderboards and select your choice of stars). Let us know what you think of the changes and particularly the new Deduce Puzzles.
Enjoy! And let us know if there are other features you would like to see in future releases. Visit us at www.ObviouslyGenuine.com.

Deduce 2.0.2 fixes a bug that incorrectly displayed achievements when using IOS 5.1 on a device with a retina display.
Deduce 2.0.1 is a maintenance release which fixes some small bugs and activates an additional feature that did not make it into the 2.0 release: an Earned Achievements list for Game Center players. Go to Menu->Game Manager->Player->Earned Achievements. Tap on any of your earned achievements to learn about the literary personage it represents.
Deduce 2.0 is a major revision of the original game and features integrated Game Center support with online match play. Notable improvements include
1. Game Center integration. Statistical results, scores, and saved games are associated with the active Game Center player. If you are not logged into Game Center, you may supply your own player name for separate game tracking, or play anonymously. If you use Game Center, scores are reported to Classic, Novice, and Match leaderboards, and achievements may be earned based on the quality and persistence of your game play. Earn achievements with Deduce to discover 50 19th century literary giants of the western world, who were also masters with words. A portrait medallion is awarded for each achievement -- collect them all!
2. Online Matches. Use Game Center to play a Deduce match race with an opponent, or challenge a friend by selecting his or her mystery word yourself. If you are not racing to deduce the same word, watch your opponent's game as it's played. Text chat during or after the match.
3. Mystery Word definitions. When you finish a game of Deduce, a definition of your mystery word is provided. Increase your vocabulary as you play more games.
4. Game records. Mail beautifully formatted PDFs of your games or matches to yourself or others, or print your games using AirPrint.
5. Global settings. Use the Settings App to specify global options for Deduce, such as autosave (which automatically saves a limited or unlimited number of your completed games), and control whether or not mystery words are reused.
6. Tweeting (iOS 5 only). Find a particular game really challenging? Tweet about it to your friends.
7. Minor improvements to the user interface, including simplifications and a sound effects volume setting. If you marked a letter by tapping it, you can now unmark it by tapping it again.
8. Additional words. We taught Deduce more than 400 additional 6 letter words.
9. Minor bug fixes throughout the program.
A note for those upgrading from Deduce 1.4.3:
Games that you have previously saved (using Game Manager) are preserved under an anonymous player name. To access these games you must be signed out of Game Center, then go to Game Manager and remove your player id. Games associated with an anonymous player will appear in the Game Manager list.
Be sure to upgrade your device to iOS 5.1 for the best Deduce user experience.

1.4.3
2010-12-07
Deduce 1.4.3 fixes some visual user interface glitches that surface on iPads running iOS 4.2.1.
Deduce 1.4.2 released Oct 21, 2010 fixed several small bugs encountered when manually selecting a game number or a Mystery Word. Thanks to Dr. JL for reporting the problem.
Deduce 1.4.1 released Aug 2, 2010 fixed a bug that sometimes left the letter dials in an incorrect state following an "Unmark" operation.
Deduce 1.4 released July 17, 2010 was updated to work with iOS 4.0. Additional improvements include
1. By popular demand, the Unmark button now works more like "undo most recent mark". For each tap, only the most recent mark you made is removed. To remove all of your marks, just shake the device, or tap "Unmark" repeatedly until it grays out.
2. If you have elected not to display guesses with zero hits (via a horizontal swipe), and you then enter a new guess which also has zero hits, the invisible guesses will appear briefly and then disappear again.
3. The screen formerly labelled "Game Setup" is now referred to as the Menu (iPhone/iPod Touch only).
4. Program loading time has been slightly improved.
5. Some minor bugs were also fixed.

Barkley09,
A Fave...and excellent customer service!!
Yes, it's challenging, but it is far from impossible. One of my favorite games. The keyboard doesn't appear on my iPhone 4S. Not a deal breaker, just an FYI. Dials are easy enough to use. Voice recognition capabilities would rock so guesses could be entered simply by speaking. A fun thinking game!
UPDATE: Can I give a sixth star for amazing, personal response to a review?! Larry of Obviously Genuine (developer of this great game) contacted me to tell me how to access the keyboard on my iPhone 4S. Simply swipe to the left and the dials magically become a keyboard! (I've become that person I roll my eyes at...the person who complains about something without first reading the instructions! Egad.). Honestly, this was the first time I've ever had a developer personally respond to a review. Thanks, Larry! Top notch game AND service!!
Get the game, folks. Why are you still reading?! :)

Jargon MG,
A new take on an old classic
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I used to spend hours playing Mastermind with my sister and anyone else who might be interested.. Those colored dots were both the source of agony and exhilaration..
The author of this application has taken that classic and breathed new life into it, using letters, rather than colored dots (although the background colors tend to remind me a lot of those dots).. I've owned this app since version 1.0, and the improvements are outstanding and show a lot of well-thought out efforts by the developer.
The latest version is no exception, and having the "floating tips" on the iPad app help focus your concentration when you're staring off into space wondering what 6 letter word to guess next.
I would give this app 5 stars, and do hope for continued success. I do have one request, which is to be able to skin the UI so that there are times I can escape my youth and not be so distracted by the colors.

Jerry Zeinfald,
Fun, challenging, and educational.
I've been playing this game for quite a while now. Other games get installed-played-uninstalled, but this one stays on the device, outliving all of them.
The novice mode gets you well prepared for "classic" games, giving you a solid idea on how words in the English language are composed. Also, it will certainly expand your vocabulary, and the Dictionary feature is indispensable.
The gameplay is engaging. Ironclad logical deductions boost your self-esteem, while occasional lucky guesses bring you that "jackpot" sense :-)

benoibe,
Excellent word game! Fresh idea.
I've had this game on my idevices for many years, and I always come back to it. Definitely gets your brain working!
Fun game, simple UI, great options for play! No ads or anything annoying. Really well developed!
Can be as challenging as you want: Can be incredibly difficult or nearly mindless, it's up to you. Just a truly fine game!

Jluria,
For the logic minded
This is a modern and certainly slicker version of an old game that probably died when Jotto was born. I have enjoyed it for many hours and in a series of e-mails have appreciated the developer's willingness not only to give support but to consider modifications in coming versions. What is now missing but possibly in it's future is the ability to "duel" in real time with an adversary over the Internet with each selecting a secret word chosen to stump the other! It will get my five star rating when that appears.
TNuzzi,
Update on a classic game
If you played any word games growing up you would love Deduce. My kids like playing it and with the suggest feature they didn’t get stuck thinking of words. It allows you to save games and share them with friends. A fun game to fill a few minutes.
Hentron,
Almost Great
Why can't we just use a keyboard? Why can't we unmark letters by touching them again? Why is it that I can't find the common letter usage info without touching the hint button until it either offers it or runs out of things to tell me without having offered to let me see it? I like this game a lot, but those things are irritating.
Zanbabe,
Great App for word lovers
This is a challenging and addictive game where you have to guess a six-letter word using only guesses of other valid six-letter words. You only know if you have a letter in the right place... It doesn't tell you if it exists elsewhere in the word... So it is much more challenging than a mastermind type game. I'm completely hooked.
Deduce Player,
Excellent Game
Great game to pass the time, especially if you love word games. The UI is not super intuitive, but makes sense if you read the instructions. This is a minor complaint though, as the play is engrossing enough that you quickly forget about the UI.
Scott G.,
Fun
Simple concept and pretty easy to play in a line while waiting. I'd love to see the graphics changed from the purple color splash screen and the main screen background; and the iPad layout optimized a bit more for the space.
