Hit, Miss, and Bullseye #2
In the normal game of Hit, Miss, and Bullseye,
the leader picks a four-digit number, and the students try to guess it.
When a student makes a guess, he is given feedback in the following manner:
(1) BULLSEYE -- a correct digit in the guess and in the right place.
(2) HIT -- a correct digit in the guess but out of order.
(3) MISS -- No digit of the guess is anywhere in the number.
But in this version, the object is for the students to guess a word that I have chosen.
I present a table with several guesses and the number of hits and bullseyes for each guess.
From the clues that I have given, the students should be able to determine the identity of the word.
Here are three examples:
