How to play Codebreaker
Goal
Guess the secret code: four slots, each one of six colours. A colour can appear more than once.
Step by step
- Pick four colours and tap Guess.
- A filled dot means: right colour in the right place.
- A ring means: right colour, but in the wrong place.
- The dots don't say which slots they mean – that's for you to work out.
- Against each other: you each make a code for the other, then crack your own.
How to win
Alone, you crack the code if you hit it within ten guesses. Against each other, whoever uses fewer guesses wins.
Tips
- Start with two colours twice, like red-red-yellow-yellow. One guess tells you a lot.
- Only play guesses that fit every dot you have had so far.
