Find your footing in Word Deduction

Take a moment with Word Deduction before moving to another game. 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.

See the idea in action

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. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Avoid this misunderstanding

Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
