Today we’ve got an inhouse version of a well known word (but you don’t have to be a wordsmith to play) game called Bulls and Cows which we used to play in lunchtimes at school, a bit like the Word Guessing game of Word Guessing or Synonym Game Right Click Tutorial times past.
Again, best as a game for two …
This game, which can also be called โMastermindโ or โJottoโ involves one player thinking up a secret word of a set number of letters. The second player guesses a word; the first player tells them how many letters match in the right position (bulls) and how many letters are correct but in the wrong position (cows).
… that we encourage players to play around the one computer, where one player is at a mouse (or touch) and one is on the keyboard, trying to guess the same computer generated (rather than “the other player setting”) 4 to 9 length English word.
