Getting comfortable with the controls

In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
