Game Objective
Find the hidden color sequence by making guesses and reading the feedback. A black feedback peg means one color is correct and in the correct position; a white feedback peg means one color is correct but in the wrong position.
Guess the hidden combination of colours.
How to Play
Drag colors from the left into the topmost empty guess row. When the row is filled, click the small feedback circles to submit the guess. You can drag colors from previous rows to copy them, or drag a peg away to remove it.
These puzzles reward careful deduction more than speed. Start with the most constrained clues, eliminate impossible choices step by step, and avoid guessing unless the puzzle specifically calls for it.
Beginner Tips
- Use early guesses to learn which colors are present before worrying too much about exact positions.
- Change only one or two positions at a time when testing a theory, so the new feedback is easy to compare.
- Remember that feedback does not point to specific slots; it only tells total counts for the whole row.
