Code Breaker: goal and players
Play Code Breaker online on JAWNA at jawna.app. Check the goal and supported player counts before inviting your group. Read the rules even if you know the game: familiar names can have different variants, and your usual house rules may differ from the selected version.
Supported table sizes: 2, 3 or 4 players. Choose a player count in the game settings. In partner variants, check seats and teams first. In individual formats, each player competes for their own result. The in-game How to play screen provides details. Agree on the variant before your first round together.
How to play: rules
- Everyone races to crack the same secret code at the same time: 4 pegs from 6 colours (or 5 from 8 on hard). Colours may repeat unless the table turned that off.
- Fill a row from the tray and press Check. You get key pins: a black pin for every peg that’s the right colour in the right hole, a white pin for every other peg that’s a right colour in the wrong hole.
- The pins don’t say which pegs they mean. Each secret peg answers once, so two reds against one red in the code give one pin.
- Every colour has its own symbol (triangle, circle, star, square, cross, diamond, moon, heart), so you can play by shape too.
- Tap a peg in your row to take it out. Tap an earlier row to copy it into the row you’re filling.
- You have 10 guesses. The others only see how many guesses you’ve made, never your pegs.
- The first to crack it wins. If nobody does before the clock runs out or everyone is out of guesses, the closest guess wins: most black pins, then most white, then fewer guesses.

History & origins
Code Breaker belongs to the secret-code deduction tradition made famous by Mastermind, devised by Mordecai Meirowitz around 1970.
Older games such as Bulls and Cows already used guesses and structured feedback, giving the modern colour-code game a longer conceptual background.
Jawna provides a shared secret for competing solvers. Its digital race is a local adaptation of this deduction family, not the first invention of feedback-based code breaking.
