How to play Word Deduction
Make Word Deduction your next activity in the game library. Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Look at what changes after your first action. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Notice the feedback
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Step by step
- Enter five letters.
- Green marks the correct position; gold marks an available copy elsewhere.
- Grey means no matching unused copy.

Controls
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.
A useful 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. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
Watch out for this
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.
