Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Check any mode label before starting.
Work through an example
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.
A common point of confusion
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
