Guess a five-letter answer from the included collection. Entries must contain five letters; accepted guesses are not checked against a complete dictionary.

A focus for your next round

Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Use the example to check your reasoning.

What counts as success

Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.

A walkthrough of the rules

  1. Enter five letters.
  2. Green marks the correct position; gold marks an available copy elsewhere.
  3. Grey means no matching unused copy.
  4. Use the feedback to solve.

Choosing and moving on screen

Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

Learn from a sample situation

An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.

A common point of confusion

Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Check the rule before repeating the action. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
