The Word Deduction playbook

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. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

Guess a five-letter answer from the included collection. Entries must contain five letters; accepted guesses are not checked against a complete dictionary.

Bring this focus to a round

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Notice the feedback after each input.

Understand the aim

Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Take a moment to understand the current position.

How a round unfolds

  1. Enter five letters.
  2. Green marks the correct position; gold marks an available copy elsewhere.

  4. Use the feedback to solve.

Keyboard and screen controls

Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Check any mode label before starting.

A useful example

An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Notice the change in the playing area.

Check this before moving on

Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
