Use a five-letter form made from a–z. The available rules do not explain how Worduel handles accents, punctuation, case or alternate spellings, so do not rely on automatic conversion
What should you type?
For an English Worduel puzzle, use a five-letter word made from the letters a–z. That is the English letter set specified for the game. The available rules do not explain whether the game converts accented characters, punctuation or alternate spellings, or whether it treats uppercase and lowercase differently. The safest approach is to enter the five-letter form you intend using a–z, rather than expecting the game to normalize it
Ordinary spelling and game spelling are different questions
Ordinary English spelling is how a word is written in everyday text. Here, game spelling means the five-letter form used as a guess or answer on the board. The supplied examples include “crane” and “crank” in these forms, but that does not establish a general correction or normalization rule. The rules specify the game’s letter set, not a broader policy for deciding which spellings or characters it will convert
What the available rules do and do not tell you
- The English game uses letters a–z and five-letter words
- They do not say whether accented characters or punctuation are accepted or converted
- They do not explain how alternate spellings or letter case are handled
- A green, yellow or grey tile reports how a guessed letter relates to the secret, not whether your spelling is correct in ordinary English
Read the tiles, not just the word
The board compares each letter in your guess with the secret word. Green means the letter is in the right place, yellow means it is in the word but in another place, and grey means there is no unused copy of that letter in the secret
Example round: finding CRANK
The last guess shown is “crane”, not a sixth attempt. Its first four letters match CRANK, but E is grey because the secret ends in K. That feedback helps distinguish the two words; it does not mean that “crane” is misspelled in ordinary English
A practical check before entering a guess
Use a cautious spelling routine
Choose the intended form
Decide which five-letter English spelling you mean before entering it
Stick to a–z
Use the plain English letters named in the rules. If your intended form depends on an accent, punctuation mark or alternate spelling, do not assume the game will convert it
Read each tile separately
Keep track of letters in the right place, letters elsewhere and letters with no unused copy in the secret
| Question | Ordinary written English | Worduel board |
|---|---|---|
| What does it describe? | How a word is written | How a five-letter guess compares with the secret |
| Example | “Crane” is an English word | Against CRANK, C, R, A and N are green; E is grey |
| What should guide your next move? | The spelling you intend to write | The position and presence clues on the tiles |
The example uses five of the six guesses available in solo play, so it also shows why a displayed sequence should not be mistaken for a complete round. Solo play offers six guesses and unlimited puzzles. Use the board to refine your next entry, but treat it as letter feedback rather than a spelling checker
In the CRANK example, what does a yellow tile mean?
Reveal answer
The correct option is “The letter is in the secret, but in another position”. Yellow marks a letter that occurs in the secret but is not in the guessed position
If you are unsure about a character or spelling variant, the rules available here do not provide a more specific answer. Use a five-letter form written with a–z and let the visible clues guide later guesses, rather than relying on an undocumented conversion behavior
