Word Deduction: rules and examples
Start Word Deduction by looking at the playing area and its controls. Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Use the example below to understand a decision. 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
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Make the next step deliberately.
Aim for this result
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
From the start of a round
- Enter five letters.
- Green marks the correct position; gold marks an available copy elsewhere.
- Grey means no matching unused copy.
- Use the feedback to solve.
Controls
Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful example
An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.
An important reminder
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
