How to use the controls
Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.
Follow the example
An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
Avoid this misunderstanding
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.
