Aim for this result
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
The playing sequence
- Enter five letters.
- Green marks the correct position; gold marks an available copy elsewhere.
- Grey means no matching unused copy.
- Use the feedback to solve.
How to use the controls
Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
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. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Verify the rule before continuing.
Watch out for this
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
