How to play Word Deduction

Make Word Deduction your next activity in the game library. Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

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

A careful first round

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Keep the objective visible.

Your goal

Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.

A useful example

An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.

Watch out for this

Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
