The essentials of playing Word Deduction

Bring your attention to one round of Word Deduction. 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. 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.

Take a closer look while playing

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Use the example to check your reasoning.

The purpose of your moves

Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

From the start of a round

  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.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.

A useful 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. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.

An important reminder

Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
