Crack the secret colour code
The computer hides 4 coloured pegs. You get 10 guesses. After each one, a filled peg means a right colour in the right place, and a hollow peg means a right colour in the wrong place.
Variations
- Team play: the group agrees on every guess together, out loud.
Tips
- Try two colours per guess at first (like red, red, blue, blue) to learn the most from each clue.
