Cow Bull is a fun number and word guessing game in which Android generates a secret number/word(dictionary word) at the start of the game such that the digits/letters in the number/word can't be duplicated (Eg-5674/READ). The User must guess this secret number/word in minimum attempts possible.
To guess, user selects the number/word by rolling the wheels(Number) or typing the letters(Word) and clicking on the button with bull and cow image. For each attempt, the application will display number of cows and bulls.
Bull represents a digit/letter in the guess which is correct and is also in the correct position.
