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. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. 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.

Practice beyond the first move

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.

The goal to keep in mind

Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

How to proceed

  1. Enter five letters.
  2. Green marks the correct position; gold marks an available copy elsewhere.
  3. Grey means no matching unused copy.
  4. Use the feedback to solve.

Keyboard and screen controls

Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Check any mode label before starting.

A closer look at one 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. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Verify the rule before continuing.

An important reminder

Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
