How to play

You each plant a secret code, four digits, or five if you want a real fight.

Take turns guessing each other's. Normal mode colours every digit: green for right place, yellow for wrong place, red for not in the code.

Hard mode gives you the classic unmarked pegs, so you have to work out which digits earned them.

How to start

  1. Both of you create a free account.
  2. One of you shares the pair code, the other enters it. That is the whole setup.
  3. Open the arcade and pick Pick the Lock.
  4. Play live, or take your turn whenever you are free and the reveal waits for you both.
