Number Guessing

I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100. Hot means you're close, cold means you're far.

Guess the number
??

The computer is thinking of a number between 1 and 100, and your job is to find it. Every guess comes back hot or cold, so each round becomes a logic puzzle about narrowing the range efficiently.

How to use it

  1. Type any number between 1 and 100 as your first guess.
  2. Read the hint: hot means you are close, cold means you are far.
  3. Use the hints to narrow the range and guess again.
  4. Find the secret number in as few guesses as possible.

Key features

Frequently asked questions

What is the best strategy?

Start in the middle (50). If the hint says hot, move a smaller step; if cold, jump to the middle of the remaining range. Halving the range each time finds the number quickly.

How many guesses should a good player need?

With smart halving, finding a number between 1 and 100 usually takes no more than 7 guesses.

Is the number truly random?

Yes, a new random number is chosen at the start of each round, so there is no pattern to memorize.
