The objective of a round
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.
How a round unfolds
- 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.
Making selections and moves
Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
An example to follow
An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Take a moment to compare.
A mistake to avoid
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Check the rule before repeating the action. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
