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.
An example before you play
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. Take a moment to compare.
Check this before moving on
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
