You’ll be given a series of hints provided through coloured tiles which help you to see just how close you are to guessing the word. The tiles work as follows:

  • If any of your letters are highlighted as green, that means you’ve got the right letter in the right place

  • If any of the letters are highlighted as yellow, that means the letter is in the word, but it’s in the wrong place

  • If any of your letters are highlighted as grey, it means that letter isn’t included anywhere in the secret word
