Play Five Letters online: rules and tips

How to play Five Letters

• You get six guesses. Each guess must be a real word.
• Green = right letter in the right spot.
• Gold = right letter, wrong spot.
• Grey = the letter isn't in the word.

Your first useful move

Use feedback from every earlier guess. A grey letter can still occur elsewhere when you guessed more copies of it than the answer contains; keep the green and gold evidence in mind.
