What is Pigs & Bulls?
Pigs & Bulls is a free online word-guessing game inspired by the classic Bulls and Cows (also known as Mastermind). Each round, you try to guess a secret word or number by entering guesses and receiving feedback. A "bull" means you have the right letter in the right position. A "pig" means the letter exists in the word but is in the wrong spot. Using logic and deduction, you narrow down the possibilities until you crack the code.
Choose word lengths from 4 to 8 characters, pick word mode or number mode, and select a difficulty level that suits your skill. Whether you are a first-time player or a seasoned puzzle veteran, Pigs & Bulls offers a satisfying challenge every time you play.

How to Play
Pick your settings and press Play Now. Type a valid word (or number) of the correct length and submit your guess. Green "bull" feedback means a letter is correct and in the right position. Yellow "pig" feedback means the letter is in the word but in the wrong place. Letters with no match are dimmed on the keyboard so you can track what you have already tried. Keep guessing until every letter is a bull and you solve the puzzle.
