Build familiarity through play
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Keep the objective visible.
The goal to keep in mind
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
How to proceed
- 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.
Using the playing area
Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Work through an example
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. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
