I believe I cracked the safe today on my final attempt. I got the achievement. However, rather than a prize, it said, Oh no. Something went wrong. Try again. I clicked again, and it said, you already cracked the safe today.
I cracked the new safe today.
Even though I was next to the real result before, it didn't say "1 close" then.
more disturbing: AGAIN not the book as prize I cracked the old one so often over the past years and all of a sudden it stopped rewarding the book! (plus gave much less in sP)

I cracked the safe again today. Yesterday I won 35k, which isn't a fortune, but, yeah... Today it was only 1.129 sP !!! really? It's not worth the risk to be a safe cracker these days ;-)
Re the "close" message - can it be, it only works into 1 direction?
edit 03/23/26
"Combination Addict Crack the safe multiple days in a row. Dedication is its own reward... plus the actual rewards. 1 / 7"
I cracked it for 4 consecutive days now?
...and, yes, the "close" only works forward and doesn't take the lower number into account.
5.: 3 - 1 - 4 - 1 exact 2 close
The combination was: 3 - 4 - 1
1 is not close to 4 and 4 is not close to 1. Something is wrong with the hints!
edit 04/02/26
any news on the hints? Is it so, that the game not always gives the hints? Or are they simply still broken? Like on 2 spots, judging by the solution, I should have gotten a "close", did not and of course skipped those "should have been mentioned as close" numbers, yet those WERE the right ones
edit 04/08/26 4. 4 - 1 - 5 2 close Better luck tomorrow! The combination was: 1 - 4 - 1
