How to Play & Win Digitle (The 4-Digit Wordle)

A definitive mathematical guide to cracking 4-digit numeric codes in 6 attempts or fewer.

The Core Objective

Your goal is to deduce a hidden 4-digit sequence chosen by the system. In standard mode, each digit between 0 and 9 appears at most once (unique non-repeating digits). You have 6 total guesses.

7

Green: Exact Slot

The digit is correct and located in this exact position.

3

Yellow: Wrong Slot

The digit exists in the secret number, but is in a different slot.

9

Gray: Excluded

The digit does not appear anywhere in the hidden number.

Top 3 Deduction Strategies

1.
Broad Opening Coverage: Guess two distinct 4-digit numbers on tries 1 and 2 (e.g. 1234 then 5678) to survey 8 of the 10 possible digits immediately.
2.
Lock Exact Slots First: When a digit lands green, keep it in that column and rotate only yellow and untested digits.
3.
Zero Elimination: Keep track of whether '0' is present, as it is often neglected in early guesses.
