Read the clues

After each guess, four small pegs appear on the right. They reveal how close you were — but not which colour each peg refers to.

Green — right colour, right position

This colour is in the code and in exactly the right slot.

Yellow — right colour, wrong position

This colour is somewhere in the code, just not here.

Dark — not in the code

This colour does not appear anywhere in the secret code.

Example round

Say the secret code is Red · Blue · Green · Yellow.

Red is correct. Yellow is in the code but wrong position. Purple and Orange are not in the code.

Red and Blue are perfect. Yellow and Green are in the code but swapped.

All four correct — you cracked the code!
