Practice with a purpose
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What you need to achieve
Find all letters before eight incorrect guesses. A correct guess does not reduce the remaining allowance. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
The playing sequence

- Select a letter on the keyboard or type one on a computer.

How to use the controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.
One detail worth checking
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
