The essentials of playing Word Deduction

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Word Deduction. 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. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

See how the rules apply

An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.

Keep this in mind

Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
