How to play:
"Word Riddle" is a browser game in which you guess a five-letter (5L) English word. Make a guess and press the "Enter" button. The color of the squares will change, showing how close your guess was to the solution.- Green: the letter is in the correct place.
- Yellow: the letter is in the solution, but in the wrong place.
- Gray: the letter is not in the solution.
Repeated letters:
In case you enter a word with the same letters, the coloring will be a little special.Eg. if the solution is tease & the input is green, there are 2 'e's in both the solution & input. In this way, both 'e' will be yellow.
G
r
e
e
n
If the solution is exact, which has only one 'e', & the input is green, only the first 'e' will be yellow.
G
r
e
e
n
In short, the repeated letters will be yellow / green up to the number included in the solution.
