One way to understand the rules
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.
A common point of confusion
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
