Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Work through an 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. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
