Code Logic Master Challenge User Guide
Master the rules, understand codebreaking odds, and leverage deduction to crack any secret sequence.
How to Play Step-by-Step
- Assemble Your Guess: Tap or drag colored pegs into the active row slots to build your test sequence.
- Submit Your Attempt: Tap Submit (or let Auto-Guess trigger automatically once the row is filled).
- Analyze Feedback Clues: Evaluate the feedback pegs returned beside your row to deduce accurate colors and positions.
- Deduce & Adjust: Lock in confirmed positions, eliminate incorrect colors, and refine your sequence on the next row.
- Crack the Secret: Identify the full secret sequence within the allowed rows (8–15 guesses) to win!
🕵️ The Objective
Whether you're challenging yourself against the computer or going toe-to-toe with a friend, the goal is the same: crack the secret sequence of colored pegs before your guesses run out. Every move is a calculated risk, and every clue brings you one step closer to unraveling the code.
Understanding the Clue System
After each guess, you receive instant feedback. Note: The order of clue pegs does not correspond to specific slot positions—they only summarize total matches in that row.
Black Peg
Exact Match: Right color in the exact correct position.
White Peg
Color Match: Right color, but in the wrong spot.
No Peg
Silence: That color is not used in the secret code.
📊 Code Breaking Odds & Possible Combinations
Difficulty scales directly with code length (pegs), palette size (colors), and whether repeated colors are permitted:

💡 Pro Deduction Tips
- Gather Early Data: On turn 1, choose all distinct colors to test and rule out as many options as possible.
- Eliminate Unused Colors Instantly: If an attempt produces no clue pegs, immediately remove those colors from future moves.
- Lock In Black Pegs: Once a black peg position is deduced, keep that color locked in place on all subsequent rows.
- Shift White Pegs: A white peg confirms the color exists in the code—test it in a different slot position next turn.
