Understand the aim
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.

- Enter five letters.
- Green marks the correct position; gold marks an available copy elsewhere.

Getting comfortable with the controls
Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
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. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Check this before moving on
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
