Vertically guess the word in 6 tries. After each guess, the color of the tiles will change to show how close your guess was to the letter in that column position for the word.

Imagine the solution word being placed in the bottom row and the color of the letters in the grid apply to the word below. (If you reach the 6th guess, it will be spelled horizontally and will be colored normally.)

Information gained from guesses:

1. 1. The letter A is in the word and in the 1st position.
   The letter Y is in the word but not in the 1st position.
2. 2. The letter P is in the word but not in the 2nd position.
   There letter L appears exactly once in the word but not in the 2nd position.
3. 3. The letter A is in the word but not in the 3rd position.
   (This A would be green if and only if another A was in the 3rd position.)
4. 4. The guess was correct and the word was AMPLY!
   (Make sure you understand why APPLY cannot be the solution.)

All gray letters are not in the word in any position.

In the future, you may have the option to select the order in which you place words in each column. Playing on PC is recommended.
