A useful example
With APPLE as the answer and ALLEE as the guess, the first A and final E are in the right places. The extra L and E are not both counted as present. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
