Keyboard and screen controls
Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A closer look at one 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. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.
Pay attention to this rule
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
