How a round works
Step
At the start of a round, every player picks a 6-digit code that only they can see. From that point on, you take turns entering guesses until someone cracks the other's code completely. The first player to get all six digits right wins.
- Pick your code choose any 6-digit number using the digits 0 through 9, then lock it in.
- Read the feedback the game shows you which digits in your guess are sitting in the correct position.
- Win the round the first player to place all six digits in the right spots wins.

Reading and using the feedback
TipsAfter each guess the game tells you which digits landed in the correct position. That is the main tool you have for narrowing things down.
- If a digit is confirmed in the right spot, keep it in that exact position on every future guess.
- For positions that have not been confirmed yet, swap in a different digit each time rather than repeating one that gave you nothing.
Choosing a harder-to-crack code
WarnBecause the feedback system reveals positional information guess by guess, an opponent can close in quickly if your code follows an obvious pattern.
