What you need to achieve
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. 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.
How to use the controls
Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Check any mode label before starting.
Try this example
An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
Notice this detail
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
