Step by step

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.

Controls

Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter.

A useful example

An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two.

Watch out for this

Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer.
