🛠 About the Product / Function

The goal of Mastermind is simple yet highly challenging: crack your opponent’s secret code. The codemaker arranges four colored pegs (chosen from six colors), and the codebreaker must guess the exact combination. After each attempt, the codemaker provides feedback using black and white pegs:

• Black: correct color and position
• White: correct color, wrong position

Each round becomes a battle of wits where logic, deduction, and pattern recognition decide who masters the code.
