Using the playing area
Type a guess and press Check guess or Enter. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Put the rules into context
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. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.
Keep this in mind
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
