How to play Word Deduction
Word Deduction gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Use the example below to understand a decision. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. 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. The example below illustrates a decision.

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. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Compare the situation with the worked example. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
