Your goal
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.

- Green marks the correct position; gold marks an available copy elsewhere.

Controls
Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.
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. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
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.
