The game from your childhood. Only advanced. And harder to memorize. And the feedback isn’t what it used to be...

  • To solve this module you must find the correct 5 color code.
  • The colors used in this module are: White, Magenta, Yellow, Green, Red and Blue.
  • Note that each color may be used multiple times.
  • The LED colors can be cycled through by clicking the LEDs.
  • By pressing the "Query" button, information about the currently entered code will be displayed.
  • When the correct code is entered, the module will be solved by pressing the "Submit" button. Submitting the wrong code will invoke a strike.

Each query will generate two numbers on the display. These numbers each represent the total sum of two of the values listed in the table below.

A = Number of correct colors in the correct positions.
B = Number of correct colors in the wrong positions.
C = Number of colors not in the solution at all.
