A useful example
An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.
Watch out for this
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
