Worked Grid

Place each clue in the row that matches its meaning

Imagine a five-slot puzzle where L is fixed in slot 2, T is fixed in slot 5, N is present somewhere, A was tried in slot 1 and belongs elsewhere, and E, R, and S are absent. The box layout records those four kinds of evidence without requiring pattern syntax.

  1. Correct Letters

    Put L in box 2 and T in box 5. Leave the other boxes empty.

  2. Present Letters

    Put N in any box in this row; boxes here collect letters whose positions are unknown.

  3. Wrong Position

    Put A in box 1. This requires A somewhere in the entry but rejects entries with A first.

  4. Excluded Letters

    Enter E, R, and S in separate boxes, then select Find Words.

How to read the outcome

The current corpus returns 1 matching entry for those clues. PLANT is one recognizable match.Other matches may be obscure because the grid tests spelling constraints, not familiarity or clue meaning.
