A word like ARC could be correct because the letters are in different positions even though they are the same letters. It doesn’t mean the word doesn’t have these letters at all but means they aren’t in these positions. This means the correct word does not have any of these letters in this position. Say you pick the word CAR and it returns 0. This used to annoy me, but now I find it very useful. This narrows down the words a lot.Īnother thing to be aware of is when you get a likeness of 0.

T is a correct letter, but it’s not in the same position as it was in CAT. So with the assumption that T is the correct letter in the word CAT, it doesn’t make sense to try a word like TOE. Even if the correct word has a C or an A in it, they are not in the correct position so they do not get a point for likeness. What we do know is that is if T is the correct word it will always be in the 3rd position of the word. This means 1 letter from the word CAT is correct.

Does likeness mean there is a similar letter in the word or does it mean there is a letter in the right place? Well, I can 100% confirm that it means letter in the correct place. This applies to Fallout 4 and past games as the hacking system has remained the same. Turns out its a hell of a lot easier to do when you know all of the tips and tricks to hacking terminals in Fallout. Eventually, this got too annoying so I spent some time figuring it out. I gave up all hope of figuring it out and instead id just randomly pick 3 words and quit out then repeat until I got it. Hacking terminals used to confuse the hell out of me.
