Hi all,

I have game for you guys... It will be hard to understand at first- as i am not a good comunicator- but sure it will be interesting..
We name it Cows and Bulls

Cows(C) being correct and Bulls(B) being Wrong.

A person thinks of any four letter word - should not be a name and should not contain repeated letters.

Others need to guess the word.. The guess should also be four letter word without repeating letters and no names. One person can post one guess and wait for the clue.

When the guess is posted, the person who gave the question will post the clue as follows.

If the guess is correct - All correct.
If the guess has any letter in common with the actual word, the person will post the number of letter that are common and in the same position as C.

The number of letters in common and different position will be posted as B.

If there no common letters - NC

I think I'm not clear.

So see the below example.

Person Thinks a for letter word. _ _ _ _ (Let us say I had "Boys" in my mind)
Person 2: Guess - FOUR
Person 3: Guess - FIVE

Person 1: FOUR - 1C
('O' is common and in the same position - this will not be posted.)
FIVE-NC (Nothing common)

Person 2: Guess - STIR
Person 1: STIR - 1B
('S' is common and in diff position- this will not be posted)

Person 3: CABS
Person 1: CABS - 1C, 1B
(B and S are common 'B'- diff position and 'S'- sme position - this will not be posted)

The game continues until the word is found.

Shall we start??

Please give you guess to get practised.

Guess the word in my mind _ _ _ _

Vani U r right.

EARS - NC
Since this is the first time, i will explain the game as we proceed with the first word.
Netra, I have thought of a four letter word (without letter repetition) and u need to guess that word. U can post ur guesses as vani did. Guess words should also be 4 letters with no repeating letters. Then I will post the no. of letters that are common with same and diff position.
EARS - NC means, there is no common letters between the words EARS and the actual word that I thought. So to proceed, u can conclude that E, A, R, S letters are not there in the word that I have in my mind i.e, the actula word u need to find.
Thanks for the reply guys... Thanks a lot...
Let me know if i'm not clear...

QUIT - 1C
One of the letter in this word and a letter in tha actiual word are same. C means they are in the same position. It can be any of the four letters Q, U, I, T . Which also means, the other three letters are not there in the actual word.

BUGS - NC
This is my last explanation. BUGS and the actual word doesnot have anything in common. I have already told that one letter is there in QUIT. So, since B, U, G, S is not there, In QUIT "U" cannot be the letter. It should Q, I, or T.
(I think others can also understand and continue. Please post your guesses)
No limit on the guesses. The more logical u r ,more easy the game is.
Already i think many people may find it hard to understand. We can limit the total guesses after playing for some more time.
Thanks a lot for the interest.
It will be still more interesting if more people join.
My wife taught me this game, which they used to play during their school and college times it seems.

From the above posts, I think we can eiminate certain alphabets, since there are so many NC words.
You guys can openly discuss ur findings or any conclusions here regarding the word or the letters in the word, if u wish.
