🔐 Pop A Lock

The open-source daily puzzle game where you attempt to pop a lock.

---

🚀 Overview

Pop A Lock is a fun, puzzle game inspired by the popular game Wordle, and a Reddit Post I stumbled upon some time ago. The game is open-source, inviting developers and enthusiasts to contribute to its evolution.

✨ Features

• 🎮 Daily Puzzle: A new number combination with hints is generated once per day.
• 🧠 Brain Workout: Strengthen your problem-solving skills with strategic guessing.
• ♾️ Infinite Mode: Play lock after lock without having to wait for the next day.
• 🌍 Open Source: Free to use, modify, and contribute.

🎯 How to Play

1. Functionally Pop A Lock works like Wordle, but with numbers instead of letters.
2. You get 4 guesses per day
3. Use the hints to help you crack the code, without them it's near impossible to crack the code.
4. Check back the next day for a new puzzle!
