I prefer the physical game, where placing the pins takes longer time.
Doing it on a screen is way too fast and really shows how simple the game is and destroys the suspension.
For kids especially, the game trains the finer motor skill with those tiny pins.
The clue pins are even smaller and tighter to fit, and it’s also harder to figure out how to place those than the guessing pins, so the whole game is designed to be played by two kids, where one is older than the other, or a parent and a kid.
I don’t care much about guessing a random computer generated code. It’s much more fun to play your siblings where the chance is higher of someone using the same code twice or making a code of all the same color, or screw up the clue pins and such.
All of this interaction is missing when playing it against a computer.
Anyway, by playing it online I only just noticed how similar it is to Wordle, which is better suited for online single player.
IDK, for me it’s for making use of my deduction skills. I don’t particularly need to have the validation of a human “opponent”, since it’s an uninteractive game.
