Rules, controls and help for Word Deduction
Take a moment with Word Deduction before moving to another game. Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Look at what changes after your first action. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Guess a five-letter answer from the included collection. Entries must contain five letters; accepted guesses are not checked against a complete dictionary.
A small practice goal
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.
Aim for this result
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
The order of play
- 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.
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. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
One way to understand the rules
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. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.
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.
