🔐 Code Breaker

number · Wildcard, weekly

Crack the four-digit code in six guesses. Each guess tells you how many digits are exactly right, and how many are right but in the wrong place.

Four digits, six guesses. Each guess comes back with two counts: how many digits were exactly right, and how many were in the code but somewhere else. Nothing tells you which is which, and turning those two numbers into certainty is the entire puzzle.

When you will see it

Code Breaker is a Wildcard. It takes the fourth slot for a week at a time, on a rotation through twelve candidates.
