About PIN Cracker

PIN Cracker is a deduction puzzle in the Mastermind tradition: there's a hidden numeric code, and each guess returns feedback about how many digits are correct and how many are in the right position.

Every guess is information. Played well, a code that looks impossible narrows to a single answer in a handful of attempts — the skill is in choosing guesses that eliminate the most possibilities rather than guesses you think might be right.

PIN Cracker tips

  • Open with a guess that tests as many different digits as possible.
  • Change one digit at a time once you have partial information — it isolates what changed.
  • Track which digits are ruled out; that's usually more useful than which are in.
  • Position feedback matters more than count feedback late in a puzzle.

PIN Cracker — questions

How does the feedback work?

After each guess you're told how many digits are correct and how many of those are also in the right position — enough to deduce the code without ever being told it.

What's a good opening guess?

One that uses as many different digits as possible. The first guess is worth more as an information-gathering move than as an attempt to be right.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes — tap the digits. Nothing to install.
