A closer look at one example
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
Pay attention to this rule
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
