A useful example
An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Compare the situation with the worked example. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
