Controls
Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
