How to play Word Deduction
Word Deduction gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Guess a five-letter answer from the included collection. Entries must contain five letters; accepted guesses are not checked against a complete dictionary.
Build a steady rhythm
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.
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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
With APPLE as the answer and ALLEE as the guess, the first A and final E are in the right places. The extra L and E are not both counted as present. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
