The Word Deduction playbook
Word Deduction gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Look at what changes after your first action.
Guess a five-letter answer from the included collection. Entries must contain five letters; accepted guesses are not checked against a complete dictionary.
Practice with a purpose
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.
What you need to achieve
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.
How a round unfolds
- 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.
How your actions work
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.
Follow the 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. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
