Try Word Deduction at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Guess a five-letter answer from the included collection. Entries must contain five letters; accepted guesses are not checked against a complete dictionary.
Something to practise
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.
Your objective
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
How a round unfolds
- Enter five letters.
- Green marks the correct position; gold marks an available copy elsewhere.

Choosing and moving on screen
Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. Use the control method described here for this activity. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
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. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Choose a deliberate next step.
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.
