A useful example
An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Pay attention to this rule
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
