The essentials of playing Word Deduction

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. 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 small practice goal

When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Notice the feedback after each input.

What you are aiming for

Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

Start here and follow along

  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.

Making selections and moves

Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Work through an 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. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.

A useful caution

Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
