Making selections and moves

Follow the example
An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.
Pay attention to this rule
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
