Your goal
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Step by step
- 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.
Controls
Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use one clear input at a time.
A useful 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. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
