Word Deduction: rules and examples
Choose a round of Word Deduction and settle into its rules. Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Check the rule that explains your first action. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
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
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Notice the feedback after each input.
The challenge in front of you
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
From the start of a round
- 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.
Controls
Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
Follow the 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. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Check the stated objective.
A common point of confusion
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
