Learn from a sample situation

An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.

One detail worth checking

Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
