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

Practice beyond the first move

Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Refer to the controls when needed.

Making selections and moves

Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

Put the rules into context

An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.

Watch out for this

Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
