Questions about Unwordle
How is Unwordle played?
The game gives the final word and the colors of every tile, and the player fills each empty row with a valid five-letter word. Green means a letter is in the same place as in the final word, yellow means it is in the final word but in another place, and gray means it is not in the final word; an extra copy of a repeated letter is also gray because only as many tiles are colored as the final word has of that letter. From the top row down, a letter marked yellow or green must appear in every later row, and a letter that is not in the final word cannot be used again in a later row. A letter cannot be placed again in the same column where an earlier row had that letter marked yellow or gray.
