See how the rules apply
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.
Check this before moving on
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
