After each guess the computer will award you with bulls (or black marks) and cows (or white marks) to signify, respectively, correct letters in correct positions and correct letters in incorrect positions. Then, switch roles with the computer and let it try to guess your word! The computer plays a fairly good game but can be beaten with a little effort. In fact, the computer is at a distinct disadvantage as it avoids words that are not well established, rarely used or obscene. Select “Challenge Computer” mode in order to challenge the computer to a scored, three-round game and pit your logic against the computing power of a machine! Edit: Use keys ‘A’ to ‘Z’ to input guesses, keys ‘1’ to ‘4’ to input clues, space, arrow keys, backspace to make adjustments, and enter when done. show lessOther great games on Kongregate!

- Why does it moo, and what does mooing mean? Are moos "cows", or is that what it does if you've got neither bulls nor cows as a result of your guess? If these are the more detailed instructions, you've still got some work to do. I suggest a small non-interactive demo where a person can watch a whole word being solved, so that we can see what the output looks like in a few different cases.

- first off, you don't need a numpad, just the normal number keys at the top. secondly, for you that think that you can't have a numpad on a laptop, you are flatout wrong. thirdly, this computer is very efficient at solving the words, in the future, I suggest that you have multiple AIs for different levels, increasing in difficulty, and also a mode where the AI can be random.

- You do realize that there is a row of numbers at the top of the keys and laptop users DO NOT have a keypad without switching between two modes? Right?

- Ah, so it doesn't work if I'm using a laptop without a numpad? Sorry, but that's an automatic fail. And why didn't you program it so that you could simply enter a four-letter word, and the computer would guess separately? Why create more work for what should be a simple flash game? 1/5 until you fix either the non-numpad flaw or fix the game so that the program is actually user-friendly.

- I figured out how to place bulls or cows.
After you find a four letter word you want to use, if there are any letters in the correct places hit the space bar till the word bulls come up, then with your num lock on hit the number of letters the comp guessed correct that are in the correct place.
Then it should automatically go to cows and if there are any additional letters that the comp got right but are in different places then hit that number on the key pad. For some reason it doesn't work on the regular top row of the keyboard. If the comp got none right just hit enter.
Let me know if that makes sense or not.

- I don't understand how to assign cows or bulls when challenging the computer, can you explain a little better? I will give you a better score once the intructions are a little clearer. For now 2/5
