AI Summary
This guide breaks down the "Input-Process-Output" mechanism. It explains that the game scans your word from left to right. It handles duplicate letters by only coloring them green/yellow if the target word also has duplicates. It clarifies that "Yellow" means right letter/wrong place, and "Green" locks it in.
AI Highlights
- Feedback Loop: Immediate color correction after every Enter.
- Duplicate Handling: A crucial mechanic. If you guess "SPEED" and only one 'E' is yellow, the answer only has one 'E'.
- Dictionary Check: You cannot guess gibberish "AEIOU". It must be a valid word.
The Engine Under the Hood
Wordle isn't magic. It verifies your guess against two lists: a list of allowed guesses (big) and a list of possible answers (small).
The Hardest Rule: Double Letters
If the secret word is ROBOT and you guess BOOTS, only the first 'O' will be colored if the second one doesn't match a second 'O' in the target (in specific positions).
