How to play

Goal

The goal is to guess the secret date in the format YYYY-MM-DD in a maximum of 8 attempts. Each attempt must be a real date between 1900-01-01 and today.

Instructions

After each valid attempt, the color of the digits will indicate how close you are to the correct answer:

  • The digit is in the correct position.
  • The digit is in the date but in a different position.
  • The digit is not in the date.

Colors indicate how many times a digit is repeated. Each digit will be marked as many times as it appears in the hidden date.

Keep in mind

Think strategically and find the secret date!

Tips to solve it

  • The first digit is almost always 1 or 2 and the month starts with 0 or 1: fix those fast and spend your guesses on the rest.
  • Use a first date with eight different digits so every colour tells you something new.
  • Remember the calendar limits: a day cannot exceed 31 and a month cannot exceed 12, which removes many candidates for the misplaced digits.
