This game is played much like the original board version. The computer selects a code of four colors from a possible six: red. orange, yellow, green, blue, and white (duplicates allowed). It is now up to you to find, in nine moves or less, the exact color and position of each element of the code by entering four colors of your choice, first letters only, one at a time. The computer then compares the guess with the pre-selected code, first for black pegs and then for white pegs. The pegs are displayed next to the corresponding guess. A black peg means a right color in the right position, a white peg means a right color in the wrong position.
