How to play Colour Code

  • The code is four colour pegs (colours can repeat). You get eight guesses.
  • Pick colours from the palette, then Guess.
  • A solid peg = a colour in the right spot; an outlined peg = a right colour in the wrong spot.
  • The feedback never tells you which peg is which.

Your first useful move

Change your guess for a reason. Compare two rounds to see what a colour change explains, and remember that the feedback pegs do not identify which positions are right.
