Read before your next round of Word Deduction
Word Deduction gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Use the example below to understand a decision. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Look at what changes after your first action.
Guess a five-letter answer from the included collection. Entries must contain five letters; accepted guesses are not checked against a complete dictionary.
A focus for your next round
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.
The challenge in front of you
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
How to proceed
- 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 your actions work
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.
Try this 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. Read the matching step again.
One detail worth checking
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
