One thing to notice as you play
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.
What counts as success
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

- Enter five letters.
- Green marks the correct position; gold marks an available copy elsewhere.

- Use the feedback to solve.
Choosing and moving on screen
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.
A closer look at one example
An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.
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. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
