Number Guessing Game

What Is the Number Guessing Game?

The Number Guessing Game is a classic logic game: the computer secretly picks a random number within a range, and you try to find it using "Higher" or "Lower" hints after every guess. The fewer guesses you use, the better your score.

How to Play

1. Pick a difficulty — Easy (1–50), Medium (1–100) or Hard (1–200) — each with a limited number of guesses.
2. Type a number and click "Guess" (or press Enter).
3. Read the "Higher!" or "Lower!" hint and narrow down your next guess.
4. Find the secret number before you run out of guesses to win and save your best score.
