Play Word Deduction with the rules at hand

Start Word Deduction by looking at the playing area and its controls. Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Use the example below to understand a decision. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

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

Something to practise

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.

What counts as success

Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.

The playing sequence

  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.

The controls to know

Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.

One way to understand the rules

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. Read the matching step again.

Keep this in mind

Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
