Read the Feedback

After each guess, you'll get feedback pegs that help you crack the code:

Black Peg

Right color in the right position

White Peg

Right color but wrong position

No Peg

Color is not in the code at all

💡 Pro Tip: The feedback pegs are not in the same order as your guess! They just tell you how many are correct.

5

Use Logic to Win

Use the feedback from each guess to narrow down the possibilities:

Example Strategy:

🔵 Guess 1: Blue, Red, Green, Yellow

Feedback: ⚫ ⚪ (1 right position, 1 right color wrong position)

→ Now you know 2 of these colors are in the code. Try moving them around!

🎯 Goal: Crack the code in as few guesses as possible to earn more points!
