How to play

Choose four different digits from 1 to 6. A green marker means one digit is correct and in position. Yellow means a correct digit in another position. Markers do not identify which digit they describe. You have eight guesses.

A useful first strategy

Start with four different digits. Compare how the count of exact and misplaced markers changes between guesses. Keep a record of what each guess rules out. Accuracy matters more than rushing.

Controls

Use the keypad with mouse or touch, or keys 1–6, Backspace and Enter. English and Portuguese are selectable. Sound is optional.
