The rules below concern this original demo. Its mathematical checks do not validate an outside catalogue, financial service or app. It does not reproduce a confirmed commercial TQTQ game or demonstrate that another service uses these probabilities.
Browser access without an APK
Cover Window runs in the browser. This guide supplies no TQTQ APK, release number, package identifier, publisher signature or verified app-store link. Search words about downloads do not confirm an app or publisher.
No unknown-source permission, protection bypass, installation or uninstallation is needed. This game’s rules do not validate an outside file’s security.
Search name and separate Cover Window demo
TQTQ is used here as a search name without a confirmed commercial identity. This independent guide hosts its own Cover Window browser game. It confirms no operator, affiliation, official domain, licence, payment service or external app. A similar name does not prove a common publisher.

Local storage and page requests
The game does not require a customer account, identity document or bank information. Local storage explains the balance and fractional carry, but does not imply that every request made while loading the page stays on the device.
Font, analytics, hosting and CDN requests may transmit technical information such as IP address and request details. This guide promises no complete anonymity, precise retention period, absence of profiling or third-party data-sale policy. Those questions require the providers’ own information.
Interrupted rounds are not continued
The active hidden word is not stored for recovery. Reloading or leaving does not resume it or refund its already deducted stake. Only the settled balance and fractional carry can remain in local browser storage.
A network interruption is different from reloading; the game already running in the browser does not depend on an external game server to reveal its sampled word. Deleting local website data can remove the balance and fraction. Clearing cached files alone is a different operation.
One hidden word and captured settings
While idle, choose a stake of 10,20,50 or 100 virtual coins and Manual or an Auto threshold. Open window captures the settings and deducts one stake. The entire hidden word is sampled once, using uniform three-way sampling, and revealed one symbol per step. Stake and threshold stay locked during the round.
Collect processes all steps due at the current click timestamp before paying the current quote. A zero ends first and cannot be reversed by a late click. Without an earlier collection, a positive quote settles at step 8. Sound is optional; the browser reduced-motion preference shortens animation.
Frequently asked questions
How is the terminal window scored?
A round draws eight independent symbols A, B or C, each with probability 1/3. Find the shortest contiguous window in the complete word containing all three symbols. If its length is L, the terminal reward is 9−L. Without such a window, the reward is zero. There are exactly three symbol types, not extra colours or symbols. An ABC window has length 3 and reward 6. AABCCCCB has shortest complete window ABC at positions 2–4 and also gives 6. AAAAAAAA never contains all three and gives 0. The game searches automatically: the player cannot alter the hidden word or pick a different scoring window.
What does 97% expected return mean?
Across all 6,561 equally likely complete words, reward counts are 0:765,1:6,2:24,3:72,4:198,5:666 and 6:4,830. The initial mean is 412/81, approximately 5.086419753. The quote is 0.97 times the exact conditional expected terminal reward divided by 412/81. It begins at 0.97. This quote can rise or fall and becomes zero when no positive terminal reward remains possible. Zero ends the round immediately. Under the exact fair-symbol model, collecting using only revealed information gives 97% expected gross return relative to the stake. This is not a win probability, an inevitable session outcome or a claim about outside games.
Can any displayed Auto threshold be reached?
The largest terminal reward is 6, so no conditional quote exceeds 0.97× 6÷(412/81)=1.1442233009708738. Every displayed Auto threshold—1.2,1.5,2,3 or 5—is above that maximum. Selecting any of them therefore waits until terminal settlement or an immediate zero, unless the player manually collects first. The general first-crossing rule would pay the entire actual crossing quote rather than a capped threshold. It does not create a crossing that the reward law cannot reach. In this game there is no reachable displayed threshold, no guaranteed peak and no second 3% deduction.
When is restoring balance allowed?
The initial balance is 1,000 free virtual coins without monetary value or prize entitlement. The settled balance and fractional payout carry are kept in local browser storage when available. A fraction is carried into later settlements rather than discarded on each payout. Restore balance is available only while idle and below the minimum stake of 10. It sets the balance to 1,000, rather than adding 1,000, and preserves the fraction. It is a manual button, not an automatic reset or a refund for an interrupted round.
Is an observed window the payout quote?
The window boxes compare only the revealed prefix. They show the shortest already complete window, if one exists, and its one-based positions. They do not expose future symbols. An absent observed window does not by itself mean that the conditional quote is zero. The payout quote averages all possible future completions, while the visible window describes an already observed feature. Confusing these two values would misstate both the round status and the terminal reward. Once an ABC-length window exists, no later completion can produce a shorter window than 3.
