Introduction to The Guess Puzzle

Guess is a digital adaptation of the classic logic game Mastermind, it's objective is simple yet deeply engaging: deduce a hidden sequence of colored pegs through a process of logical elimination and strategic guessing.

At the start of each game, the computer secretly selects a combination of colors—typically four pegs chosen from a palette of six (though grid size and color count are customizable). Your task is to uncover this hidden code in as few attempts as possible.

After each guess, you receive immediate feedback via black and white indicator pegs:

  • Black pegs indicate how many colors are correct and in the correct position.
  • White pegs indicate how many of the remaining colors are correct but in the wrong position.

Using this feedback, you iteratively refine your guesses, eliminating impossibilities and narrowing down the solution space. The challenge lies not just in making guesses, but in choosing ones that maximize information gain—turning deduction into a satisfying intellectual puzzle.

The interface is intuitive: drag colors from the left palette into the topmost empty row, then click the feedback circles to submit your guess. Pencil marks and right-click support help you track possibilities, and every puzzle is guaranteed to be solvable by logic alone—no guessing in the dark.

This Guess puzzle offers adjustable difficulty (via grid size and number of colors), making it perfect for both newcomers and seasoned codebreakers.

How to Play The Guess Puzzle?

Try to guess the hidden color combination. After each guess, you'll receive limited feedback to help you refine your next attempt.

To make a guess, drag colors from the palette on the left into the topmost unfilled row, then click the small circles to submit your guess. The small circles provide you your feedback:

  • Black pegs indicate how many colors are correct and in the correct position.
  • White pegs indicate how many of the remaining colors are correct but in the wrong position.
