Would be cool if part of (or the entirety of) your score was the accuracy of your first guess. That's the part that takes skill, after that, it's not so interesting.
I believe, a game would be more fun if, instead of nearing on one colour in several guesses, a player would guess once for several colours. Then one could really test their hex skills, not knowing the basics of search algorithms.
Hey all! My name is Hannah, 1/2 of the Hexcodle dev team. First of all, thank you for playing! We woke up today astonished with the amount of visits on our site and we can't thank you enough!
Reading through these comments and we have been working on some of the feedback from you all: we have been working on the concept of a points system so playing will hopefully be a bit more engaging for those familiar with the binary search method! We're hoping to have this implemented within the next few weeks.
If you have any questions or want to give us feedback, we have a feedback form in our navbar, make sure to leave an email if you'd like me to follow up with you in the future.
Is there any reason to look at the target instead of just going for binary search? The least significant digit is kinda meaningless to guess without fixing the more significant one.
While I agree the LSD is somewhat meaningless, I personally find it fun to test my color matching/mixing. Binary search circumvents that (at least for the most significant digit); though I agree it really only applies for the first and maybe second guess.
For instance, my initial guess was off by (+1,-1,-1,+3,-1-2) and my first impulse was to look at the target and see that I had too much red and not enough green.

Also, I don’t think the hints are correct. It told me the digit 0 was “way higher” than the actual digit.
The wording is potentially confusing, though.
You have this backwards.
Nice idea though.
You can cheat at Monopoly by just taking more money out of the box. You can cheat at Wordle by googling the answer for that day.
Just do a binary search.
All I had was the colour diff to go by. I only managed to get got the major digits.

Thanks again :)
