Understand this puzzle

Choose a worked example after solving, or open just the part you need. These explanations are calculated from this recorded puzzle.

Compare the letters after solving

For MURAL, the pattern M___L fixes positions 1 and 5. It matches 34 of 14757 words in our independent five-letter dictionary: MADAL, MAERL, MAHAL, MAILL, MAMIL, MANUL, MARAL, MARIL ….

9 dictionary words differ at exactly one position: AURAL, DURAL, FURAL, JURAL, MARAL, MORAL, MURAS, RURAL …. Check that differing position before treating a familiar spelling as the solution.

This comparison explains spelling constraints. These are dictionary matches, not the publisher's accepted guesses or historical answer pool.

Why these alphabetical bounds work

MURAL comes after MUONS: the first different letter is at position 3, where MURAL has R and MUONS has O. Earlier positions match.

MURAL comes before MURAS: the first different letter is at position 5, where MURAL has L and MURAS has S. Earlier positions match.

These neighbours come from our independent dictionary. They illustrate alphabetical comparison, not an official distance score or a recorded play session.

Alphabetical distance counts words in a dictionary, rather than the number of letters between guesses. Your game's dictionary can differ from this helper's.
