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
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.
One detail worth checking
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
