A useful example
An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Take a moment to compare.
Where a round can go wrong
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
