Guess: Can't guess all blanks #469

Closed ghost closed 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

In a game with 'allow blanks' turned on, you can't submit a guess consisting entirely of blanks (the dots on the right don't light up blue, so you can't submit your guess).

The help for "Allow blanks" says (note second line in particular):

Allows blank pegs to be given as part of a guess (makes it easier, because you know that those will never be counted as part of the solution). This is turned off by default. Note that this doesn't allow blank pegs in the solution; if you really wanted that, use one extra colour.

For this reason, it would not make sense to submit an entirely blank guess (none of them would be correct).

Oooh, OK. Sorry, missed that :-)
