What the game asks you to do
Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Work through the instructions
- Read the clue and note the number of hidden letters.
- Select a letter on the keyboard or type one on a computer.
- Repeated correct letters are all revealed together.
- Finish the word or start another round.
Making selections and moves
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Check any mode label before starting.
An example before you play
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
Check this before moving on
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
