ACCESS METHODCOMPARE POSITIONS
How to find a terminal password
- LOCATION
- Terminals displaying a word list.
- CLUE / REQUIREMENT
- Likeness counts correct letters in the correct positions.
- REWARD / EFFECT
- Terminal access without a previously found password.
- HOW TO SOLVE
- Choose a word and read its likeness. For example, if COLD returns 3, GOLD is compatible because O, L and D occupy the same positions; this is not yet a certainty. Compare each candidate with all previous attempts. Select complete symbol groups enclosed in (), [], {} or <> to remove dud options or restore attempts. Exit before using the last attempt if unsure; when you return, reassess the new list.
