๐Ÿ” LockCode โ€“ Number Puzzle

๐ŸŽฏ Objective

Crack the secret numeric code using logic and deduction before you run out of attempts!

How to Play

  1. Choose your difficulty: Easy (3 digits), Medium (4 digits), or Hard (5 digits)
  2. Click "Reveal Clues" to see helpful hints about the secret code
  3. Study the clues carefully โ€“ each shows a code attempt and the feedback
  4. Use the numeric keypad to enter your guess
  5. Submit and analyse the feedback to narrow down possibilities
  6. Keep guessing until you crack the code or run out of attempts

๐Ÿงฉ Understanding Feedback

After each guess, you'll receive feedback in Mastermind style:

  • Right Place (Green): A digit is correct AND in the right position
  • Wrong Place (Yellow): A digit is in the code but in the wrong position
  • Not in Code: The digit doesn't appear in the secret code

Example: If the code is 1234 and you guess 1345:

  • 2 digits in the right place (1 and 3)
  • 1 digit in the wrong place (4 is in the code but not in position 4)

๐Ÿ“Š Attempts by Difficulty

  • Easy (3 digits): 8 attempts maximum
  • Medium (4 digits): 10 attempts maximum
  • Hard (5 digits): 12 attempts maximum

๐Ÿ’ก Strategy Tips

  • Use the clues: Study the initial clues carefully before making your first guess
  • Eliminate systematically: Each guess should help you eliminate possibilities
  • Track your findings: Keep mental notes of which digits are confirmed or ruled out
  • Don't repeat: Avoid guessing the same combination twice
  • Position matters: A digit in the wrong place is still valuable information
  • Start broad: Your first few guesses should test different digits to gather information
