Build familiarity through play
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The playing sequence
- Enter five letters.
- Green marks the correct position; gold marks an available copy elsewhere.
- Grey means no matching unused copy.
- Use the feedback to solve.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
One way to understand the rules
With APPLE as the answer and ALLEE as the guess, the first A and final E are in the right places. The extra L and E are not both counted as present. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
A useful caution
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Compare the situation with the worked example. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
