No - just a code.

Black - correct letter in correct location.
White - correct letter in wrong location.
Black supersedes white. So if code has one A and your solution has two As, one in the right place, you get just a black.

Ah yeah - hard done by there with Hawkeye having to overrule the umpire and all. Still, in twenty years' time all people will see is Croi's name in the record book.

Somebody else set one there. I have to work for a while.
