A small practice goal

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.

The objective of a round

Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

From the start of a round

  1. Enter five letters.
  2. Green marks the correct position; gold marks an available copy elsewhere.
  3. Grey means no matching unused copy.
  4. Use the feedback to solve.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

Try this example

An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.

Pay attention to this rule

Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
