I can’t figure out how to do these or even start them!
You’re trying to guess the hidden five-letter word. A clue appears at the bottom of the page. Type a guess (for example, RIVER) and press enter. After each guess, the letters change color:
Green means the letter is in the word and in the correct position.
Yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong position.
Gray means the letter isn’t in the word at all.
You have a limited number of tries to figure out the answer.
