The goal to keep in mind
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
From the start of a round
- 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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
Where a round can go wrong
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
