Word Deduction: learn through an example

Make Word Deduction your next activity in the game library. Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Guess a five-letter answer from the included collection. Entries must contain five letters; accepted guesses are not checked against a complete dictionary.

Practice beyond the first move

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Notice the feedback after each input.

The objective of a round

Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Follow these playing steps

  1. Enter five letters.
  2. Green marks the correct position; gold marks an available copy elsewhere.
  3. Grey means no matching unused copy.
  4. Use the feedback to solve.

Controls

Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

See the idea in action

An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.

Avoid this misunderstanding

Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
