OBJECTIVE

The game hides a secret row of 4 coloured pegs. Work out the exact colours and order and copy it within 10 guesses. The same colour may be used more than once.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Tap the colour buttons to fill all four slots of a row, then press Guess.
  • Each guess shows two clue counts for the whole row, not a mark under each peg.
  • The dark count is how many pegs are the right colour AND in the right spot.
  • The light count is how many more are a right colour but in the wrong spot.
  • The clues never say which peg is which, so you have to deduce it. If the two counts add up to fewer than four, your other colours are not in the code at all.
