Can colours repeat in the secret code?

Yes, the solution may contain duplicate colours, so a colour marked correct once could still appear again.

Does the puzzle change if I refresh the page?

No, the same daily code persists until midnight UTC when a new one is generated.

Code Break

Crack the secret sequence of four colours. Each guess reports exact matches and misplaced colours.

Tries left: 8 Daily streak: 0

Pick four colours and press Guess.

How to play

Build a four-colour code from the palette (colours never repeat) and press Guess. A black peg means a colour is exactly right; a white peg means the colour is in the code but in a different position — pegs are not ordered. Crack it within eight tries.

About

Code Break challenges you to deduce a hidden sequence of four coloured pegs within eight attempts. After each guess, black pegs indicate a correct colour in the exact position while white pegs show a correct colour placed elsewhere. The feedback narrows the possibilities until the pattern is solved or attempts run out.

A new secret code is generated every day so all players tackle the identical puzzle. The game tracks your current streak, total wins and average guesses without requiring an account. Colours may repeat in the solution, adding a layer of logical depth beyond simple elimination.

How your result is scored

Your result is the number of guesses used to crack the code, or a loss if eight attempts are exhausted. Fewer guesses produce a better score and extend your winning streak; a loss resets the streak to zero.

Interpret the score as a measure of deductive efficiency rather than speed. Consistently solving in four to five guesses shows strong pattern recognition, while frequent losses suggest adjusting your opening strategy or feedback analysis.

Tips to improve

Start with two distinct colours repeated twice each to quickly identify which hues are present.
Treat every black peg as a locked position and rearrange only the remaining colours.
If a colour earns a white peg, move it to a new slot in the next guess instead of keeping it.
Track eliminated colours in a mental or written grid to avoid redundant guesses.
When only one slot is uncertain, test the remaining candidate colours one at a time.
