Your goal
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Work through the instructions
- 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.
Your inputs
Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
An example to follow
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. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
One detail worth checking
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
