How to play Word Deduction
Make Word Deduction your next activity in the game library. Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. 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.
Keep the aim in sight
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Step by step
- Enter five letters.
- Green marks the correct position; gold marks an available copy elsewhere.
- Grey means no matching unused copy.
- Use the feedback to solve.
Controls
Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. 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. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.
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. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
