Original Text

CowBull is a word game where you have to find the hidden four-letter word. You make guesses and get back the count of exact letter matches (bulls) and partial matches (cows). It’s a bit like Wordle, but you are not told the exact letters which match, only the count of matching letters.

Scoring is based on the number of guesses and time used. There is a single player mode and a multi-player mode (no account required). The game source code is at https://github.com/claceio/cowbull.

When I was younger, we used to play this game on paper at the back of the classroom during school and college in India. During Covid, I made this online version of the game to play with my kids.
