About
The classic code-cracking deduction game. Each colour sits on its own number key, so entering a guess is just a few taps; the cursor advances automatically and # submits. After every guess you see how many pegs are the right colour in the right place (black) and the right colour in the wrong place (white). Play the standard 4 pegs / 6 colours in 10 guesses, or the tougher 5 pegs / 8 colours in 12.
Objective: Crack the hidden code in as few guesses as possible.
Modes: 4 pegs, 6 colours, 5 pegs, 8 colours
