1. A daily word puzzle (0s–7s)
   Six guesses from a displayed five-letter study list.
   Spoken example: Find the five-letter word in six guesses. The allowed study list is visible on the page..
2. Enter a known spelling (7s–14s)
   The puzzle checks spellings from its bounded list.
   Spoken example: Enter a word from the study list. Other spellings are not accepted as puzzle guesses..
3. Read written clues (14s–22s)
   Exact: right position. Elsewhere: another position. Absent: no copy left.
   Spoken example: Exact means the right position. Elsewhere means another position. Read the written clues..
4. Count repeated letters (22s–30s)
   An exact match uses one copy before elsewhere matches are assigned.
   Spoken example: A letter is counted only as many times as it occurs. Exact matches use copies first..
5. Keep or reset locally (30s–38s)
   The UTC daily state stays on this device; result copy omits the word.
   Spoken example: The daily state stays on this device. Copying the result does not reveal the answer word..
6. Your next step (38s–45s)
   Use a clue to plan the next guess, or study the full list.
   Spoken example: Open daily word guess. Use one clue to plan a new guess, or study the word list first..
