Word Deduction: what to know before playing

Bring your attention to one round of Word Deduction. Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

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

A small practice goal

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.

What the game asks you to do

Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

Making your moves

  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.

Input guidance

Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.

An example to follow

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. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.

Avoid this misunderstanding

Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Check the rule before repeating the action. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
