About this challenge
Orchard Number Hunt is challenge 5 in the ten-part Secret Number collection. It uses the same core rules as the other challenges in this family, with its own settings: upper number: 120; guesses available: 9. Choose it when you want a medium round, or use the previous and next buttons to adjust the challenge.
Rules and controls
Find the hidden number in Orchard Number Hunt by narrowing the range with higher and lower clues. Enter a whole number in the displayed range and submit it. Your result appears above the board when the round ends. Restart begins a new round; it does not continue the previous board. The game keeps a small record of completed rounds in this browser.
Make your next round better
Start near the middle of the remaining interval. After each clue, exclude the impossible half. Repeating a guess uses a turn without adding information. If the current challenge feels too demanding, go back one level and focus on the basic pattern before increasing the pace or board size.
Playing on a phone
The board adapts to the width of your screen. Use the displayed buttons or direct touch controls. For word and number inputs, tap the text field to bring up the keyboard. Put your phone in portrait orientation for the clearest view of the controls. Timing games may feel different across devices because screens and input hardware respond at different speeds.
