A useful example
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
