Read the Feedback
After each guess, you'll get feedback pegs that help you crack the code:
Right color in the right position
Right color but wrong position
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.
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!
