Quick answer

A color code-breaking logic game: crack the hidden four-gem code in ten guesses. Read the black-and-white peg clues, outsmart sneaky duplicate colors, and chase a personal cracking streak.

About Code Breaker

Code Breaker is a quiet kind of tension: a secret arrangement of four colored gems sits hidden behind the board, and every guess earns a small verdict instead of an answer. A black peg means a color in exactly the right spot. A white peg means a color that belongs in the code but landed somewhere else. Nothing more, no matter how much you want it explained.

The real game happens between guesses, in the deduction. Duplicate colors complicate the count in ways that reward careful logic over lucky taps, and each row narrows the possibilities a little further until the pattern clicks. Pick No Repeats for a gentler climb, or Repeats Allowed with an optional eighth color for Expert players who want the math to bite harder.

It suits anyone who likes puzzles that reward patient reasoning over speed: quick enough for a coffee-break round, deep enough that a clean crack in three or four guesses feels genuinely earned.
