the mind boggler is confusing
Yeah, it can be. Maybe try using the quick start option to get a game going quickly. Tap on the play icon in the toolbar and select 3 digit game. Then enter your 3 digit guess and press [ENTER]. The HITS tell you how many numbers are correct but not in the right place. The SINKS are how numbers are correct and in the right place. Keep entering numbers till you get 3 SINKS. It helps if you switch to the "collector" background through the options menu [F4]. It will show you each guess you made and the number of hits and sinks. Hope that helps.
