Rules, controls and help for Word Deduction
Read the aim of Word Deduction, then make your first move. Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Use the example below to understand a decision. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Guess a five-letter answer from the included collection. Entries must contain five letters; accepted guesses are not checked against a complete dictionary.
Practice beyond the first move
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your objective
Guess the five-letter answer in six attempts. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.
The order of play
- Enter five letters.
- Green marks the correct position; gold marks an available copy elsewhere.

Your inputs
Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
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. Read the matching step again.
A mistake to avoid
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Check the rule before repeating the action. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
