Alphabet Code

A head-to-head deduction game in which each player secretly arranges a five-letter code using digital-style alphabet tiles (letters a–j) behind a screen. Players alternate asking grid-based questions — for example, whether a specific square is filled or how many adjacent squares are filled around a zone — to gather information and narrow down the opponent’s layout. Players may declare a solution when confident; two incorrect declarations eliminate a player. Optional advanced rules introduce real words and larger setups for increased difficulty.
