What you are aiming for

The steps to play
- Read the clue and note the number of hidden letters.
- Select a letter on the keyboard or type one on a computer.
- Repeated correct letters are all revealed together.
- Finish the word or start another round.
Choosing and moving on screen
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
Put the rules into context
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.
Where a round can go wrong
